Ubuntu 12 booted from Distro CD allows india staffing companies to break into computer and spy while online

Which firewall are you using?

Well, on once hand every operating system can be attacked, but on the other Ubuntu is one of the systems that are rather hard to attack successfully. Also the amount of resources needed to attack an individual computer is too high just to retrieve some personal data of maybe one or two persons. It is more likely, that your data has been provided by some website or company you gave it too. Either they sold it or they have been attacked. Both happens a lot.

If you still think your computer has been compromised. Please explain in more details what the symptoms are, other then just suspicions.

I don't know... maybe theres some extra device driver that's loaded when booted live off the distro that allows them to break in that's not loaded when installed ... change some tcp/ip fields for some protocal and get a response back with unlock keys piggie backed on an invalid part address in the packet...

I've suspected for years that a certain group of people that are secretly hiding bugs in device drivers for the purpose of breaking into computer systems world wide. all they need to do is id your computer to somehow query your operating system, make and model of your computer (to know which device driver exploit to use) and the IP address where to send the attack protocal packets that exploit the driver...

find out the ip and location and model of your computer is actually easy to do if the hackers are talking with your in a trust relationship such as a empolyment agency that can ask you to fillout forms on line or open special word documents with macro virues to log your computer ip, make and model so that you email them your information back to the corrupt empolyment staffing company in your job application form without even realizing that you are giving everything they need to activate the bug tied to your computer system.

and what's with all the intel vpro stuff? i can't beleive they would embed a remote administraton tool at the hardware level that is completly out of direct control of the operating system... and decide to start putting their IC's in everybody's computer without telling them... that sounds like an exploit waiting to happen.

and let's not forget... that reading somebody's webpage actally gives them your ip address...
when i talk to an empolyment agency... there are only a few people a day that talk to them...
they know its you, when you click on their webpage and look at their website...
now they know where to send attack packets...

and ohh btw, guess where many companies outsourcing device driver development:

Wipro, iGATE, HCL, Patni, Sasken, Mindtree, Zensar, L&T, Global logic, Symphony, Mistral, Aricent, Persistent, Infosys, Tech Mahindra, Tata Elixsi, KPIT, Smartplay or Synapse.

(if you can find a bug in the messy strange code these people write... you are better than me...)

I understand your concerns, but it's important to approach such situations carefully and avoid making broad generalizations or assumptions about specific companies or nationalities. It's also important to consider that security breaches and hacking attempts can originate from anywhere in the world and are not limited to any specific country or group of individuals.

Ubuntu, like any other operating system, is designed with security in mind. It is constantly updated and maintained to address vulnerabilities and provide a secure computing environment. However, no system is completely immune to hacking attempts, and it's crucial to take appropriate security measures to protect your computer and personal information.

Here are some general tips to enhance the security of your Ubuntu system:

Keep your system up to date: Regularly install the latest security updates and patches for your operating system and applications.

Use a firewall: Enable the built-in firewall or install a trusted firewall application to control incoming and outgoing network connections.
