Files were fine, it wasn't a malicious app (thankfully), it was just a crypto ap
p was being run from a cloud drive on my system. I blocked off the RADIUS port (
1812) and the app stopped coming up. I'll have to figure out how/why it was happ
ening. RADIUS has something to do with authentication. Maybe if I just switch to
key auth only it'll block whatever backdoor I've obivously left open.
At any rate, I closed all but the ports I need and it seems OK now.
Glad I didn't have to nuke anything, and thankfully I got a fairly nice backup s
etup.
