Storage is nice, especially if it doesn't rotate
Hello, all.
I have an Ubuntu 16.04 PC that seems to have been hacked.
I got a blackmail Email containing one of my passwords, wanting $3000. They claim to have installed an RDP with key logging from a video clip I viewed.
Is there any anti-malware software I could run to "clean" the install?
Or should I just erase the disks and install a new OS version (say, 18.04)?
Would it be safe to copy my /home directory to a flash drive and check it for viruses on a Windows PC using both Avast and Windows defender, and then copy that back /home once I get the new OS installed on the Ubuntu PC?
Thanks.
