I'm happy to help consult (for free) via Skype or phone. This would rapidly help you narrow what the offending device is.Įdit: There's also the slim possibility of a false positive on the providers end. If you could get that from them (Edit: or better yet a traffic sample), you could scan the community network for the same offending traffic. If your ISP has sent you a warning letter, they may have a solid signature that flagged them to the malicious traffic. ("I thought Netflix was part of my cable package") These days, there's also the possibility that someone's TV or baby monitor has been compromised and the owners had no idea they were on the network. There's plenty of examples of computers being found in walls that were forgotten. I've found devices in closets and ceilings that were put there by someone who's left the organization.
It could also even come from laptops, tablets or smartphones that use the wifi.
If you only got 10 computers then it shouldn't take such a person long. That student at home thing i think they charge 8-10 euro per hour? I mean if we talk about a lot of computers like >50 then it's gonna be a lot harder to pinpoint from a distance, then seeing things for yourself, also the risks often becoming a lot bigger.Īnd basically you then should have some safe locks in place for certain people not installing shady software, not visiting shady websites, what normally an IT administrator would do. What's the reasoning for the remote access? Still change the password to completely something else. When the password changed do you have information from the provider if the suspicious acitivity dropped? If you got a few that know how to install windows 10, they can help the others, there really isn't much that can go wrong with it installing it, you plug in the usb stick, and it guides you through a few steps (even if you misclick you can't ruin it) only thing you need to be careful if you have more drives is to select the right one you want to install windows on (and format it before hand). I dont know how many people, 10 - 100, makes a difference.
