How to detect hacking attack on a computer?
Unusual activity on your computer: This could include pop-ups, strange error messages, or programs running without your permission.
Slow or sluggish performance: If your computer is suddenly running slower than usual, it could be a sign that someone is using your system resources to perform malicious activities.
Changes to your files or system settings: If you notice that files have been deleted or modified, or if your system settings have been changed without your permission, it could be a sign of a hack.
Suspicious network activity: If you notice that your network usage is unusually high, or if you see connections to unfamiliar IP addresses, it could indicate that your computer is being used as part of a botnet or other malicious activity.
Anti-virus alerts: If your anti-virus software detects a threat, it's important to take it seriously and investigate further.
