Can anyone tell me what this is? Recently been hacked.

Someone has a lab probably in a virtual machine and added you as a user of their network then dumped a screenshot on your desktop remotely probably. You should format your PC and make sure you change your passwords for everything.

Ok I shall format. What damage can be done by adding me as a user to a lab in a virtual machine?

Not a single thing. I highly doubt this is related to your Paypal/eBay unless the computer network you are on now is called abc.l.com ? Then they could run group policies and run all sorts.

Make sure you change all your passwords for all sites and 100% sure to format.

Ok thankyou I appreciate your help. What would be the point of adding my name to a user on a virtual machine? Strange. I will fully format later.
 
Surely if they've got the ability to drop files on his desktop they could have pulled files as well? I.e. the browser password store?

Seems a really weird thing to do though. I could understand breaking into the paypal but to tell the victim you've done it just seems weird.

Just to scare you, It's probably done to mess about with you so it 'appears' to have done something but really in a lab it wouldn't be anything to worry about.

Go to command prompt (CMD) and see if you can "ping abc.l.com" just out of curiosity. If you get "Ping request could not find host abc.l.com. Please check the name and try again." you are perfectly fine. If you get a "reply" then I would be a little bit more concerned.

Agreed, could be anything though without actually diving into the machine to see what else is lurking about.

Nothing found in CMD. What is a lab? and what is it used for? Fingers crossed nothing else happens.
