Hacked PC - random sounds playing (sh.itjust.works)

My fellow penguins,

I have been pwned. What started off as weeks of smiling everytime I heard a 7-10s soundbyte of Karma Factory's "Where Is My Mind" has now devolved into hearing dashes and dots (Morse Code) and my all-time favorite, a South Park S13: Dead Celebrities soundbyte of Ike's Dad saying, "Ike, we are sick of you talking about ghosts!"

It's getting old now.

I feel like these sounds should be grepable in some log somewhere, but I'm a neophyte to this. I've done a clean (secure wipe >> reinstall) already, the sounds returned not even a day later.

Distro is Debian Bookworm. So how do I find these soundbytes? And how do I overcome this persistence? UFW is blocking inbound connection attempts everyday, but the attacker already established a foothold.

Thank you in advance. LOLseas

Switch to BSD

Not to offend anyone, but I grappled with Gentoo. I'm sure a BSD variant would jack me up as well. Much respect, but my home is Debian.

Where's the /s

Should be obvious, why do we have to mark sarcasm these days?

@warm @LOLseas @0ndead @hellmo_luciferrari Because the British are still misunderstood by the rest of the world.
