Special Forums Cybersecurity Maybe a security problem involving Linux hosts Post 302980283 by Corona688 on Thursday 25th of August 2016 05:13:55 PM

Network intrusion happens often enough that they almost certainly weren't after you personally. It's like email spam -- attackers probe thousands of systems hoping to find one easy catch. Did you ask your ISP how many other modems were under attack? For an ISP to even admit that their modems are being attacked hints at a large problem.

When did you lose your LastPass passwords? LastPass has cleared and deactivated accounts by the million to deal with their own intrusion attempts. Once again, probably not personal.

Had HexChat needed to install any updates after not using it for months? Had you installed it from scratch after the big computer-bleach? Once again, probably not personal, just a default setting.

In short, I don't think you're crazy -- I think you have an unclear idea how computer software and computer networking works. These events have very little in common, unclear motivation (why would a hacker want to rename your IRC networks?), and very different methods(random issues in your local computer, vs malicious hacking of a well-known password service, vs intrusion on your ISP's WAN, etc...), too many for me to assume they're all from the same person or have you in particular in mind. Reformatting your computer because someone attacked your modem is akin to burning down your house because someone looked in your window, anyway.
