My PC is hacked (lemmy.world)

I just received a call from an indian microsoft technician. He informed me that my PC is sending a ton of error messages to microsoft. Most likely it has been hacked, and he would help me by remoting in and fixing the problem for me. I just wonder... Is it my PopOs or my Manjaro PC that sends all this info to microsoft?

One time I kept a guy on the phone for about ten minutes just playing dumb. Then he's like, sir, what version of Windows do you have?"

I say, I'm not sure but it's the one with the little penguin icon.

We actually had a good laugh about it together

I won free airline tickets once and was shocked and appalled when they said I COULDNT use them to go to the moon. I fought long and hard for the right to use those tickets the way I wanted but alas.
