Constantly being hacked , bluetooth

[SexyGreyFox]

Mind boggles how people get in these situations, as someone else said, sounds like they are accessing you pc via WiFi, Bluetooth has quite a short range, can not see how they can do that

and correct me if I'm wrong but all he has to do is change the password in his router?

Hard to say, he sounds a bit special if he thinks he is being hacked via Bluetooth

 

[Cadder]

OP what convinces you that it's happening via bluetooth and not some other method? Why do you think they are nearby?

You might find better answers if you post what the entire problem is without any preconceived suspicions.

My mouse barely works beyond 5 metres. I strongly doubt they're hacking you via Bluetooth.
Wipe all your USB drives on Linux. Reinstall Windows.

I'm wondering if the OP uses any wireless keyboards or mice and the "hacker" is using these? Even if the OP is using these or has bluetooth on, how on earth can the "hacker" see what's on the OP's screen? That then makes me think the PC has a virus installed and being remotely controlled by somebody or something else on the internet.

If it actually is bluetooth or something wireless, then the chances are it's somebody nearby. In which case, bang them out.

Yup. But he knows better than I do so I’m not remotely interested in being helpful.

Bluetooth 5.0 has an advertised maximum range of 240 metres. Obviously, that’s line of sight range with zero interference, but if BT is the entry method of this hacker, they might be further away than you think.

I just checked there was a blutooth service running before my game quitted and the audio now doesnt work in settings.
How does someone connect when i disabled bios and in windows. Is there some kind of special device or something.
This should not happen.

Get it formatted.

Another option... take off the antennas on the motherboard. That kills the BT range.

Reformat your pc pronto.

Also login to your router and ensure the firewall is turned on.

True but personally i have my doubts that's the point of ingress, as Cadder said it would help if the OP explained why they think it's BT related and not something else (have any malware/virus scans been run to rule those out).

 

[extrememachine]

i appreciate the help.
The motherboard has no antennas. i have disabled wireless to my rog claymore keyboard.
Just odd there was a bluetooth service running in .msc after all this.
i might try a reformat; Although when i try to boot it via usb and f8 it goes straight to my windows login??

Is OP just replying to messages that follow the preferred narrative?

Look like it....

No it's not, there's at least 3 BT services running on a default install of Windows. What leads you to believe it's BT related? Have you run any malware/virus scans?

Assuming it's the Rampage V Extreme then it should have 3 antennas at the back. If they're not screwed in then the WiFi/BT range will be near 0. Most likely you're not getting hacked by BT.

As for going straight to Windows you most likely have fast boot enabled in the BIOS. Reset the BIOS to turn this off.

That ones a tricky one if you can't get into the BIOS because it's going straight the the log in screen. Settings > Updates & Security > Recovery > Advanced startup > Click restart now button. New screen should come up with a UEFI firmware settings button > click that > System will reboot into BIOS.

Or hold shift while clicking restart from the start menu

 

[Orcvader]

I'd be tempted to reset BIOS anyway in to undo whatever OP did trying to turn off BT and any other potential changes. Just to start fresh.

EDIT: Oh saw the other comment it's actually the Maximus Z790, so not the system in sig. It still has two antenna slots so the same still applies if they're not screwed in.

What is more strange is, i tried to boot up a usb i left out for kali linux, no data on it.
So I went and got a 32gb usb and iso d the kali on it was working, then that one didnt work 10 minutes later, windows doesnt even detect it on my pc or lap.
Tried the third time with one and its playing funny.
I have no idea whats really going on, im bit paranoid about this atm.
Are there devices out there exist that can do these types of things or am i going bonkers?

Right now my third usb stick isnt even showing in file explorer nor on my pc or laptop.WTF
