Hi,
I am really a new person using MySQL. We are working on a project
using MySQL and Visual Basic and writing code to make GUI in Excel
using Visual Basic and getting data from connecting to MySQL.
We were also sharing the files in which we had written the code. The
file had all the information relating to connecting to MySQL database.
i.e. Password etc.
Few minutes later I saw that my mouse suddenly moved without me moving
it and some websites also got automatically opened.
What could have happened?
1) Could someone has hacked into my computer using MySQL if they know
my password and IP address?
2) Can there be any malicious code written in macro in excel?
3) Can anyone access my desktop and play with it (like remote login)
through MySQL, if they know my password and IP address?
4) Is there a way to know if someone logged into my computer via.
MySQL?
I really do not know anything about servers and other stuff.
Any help will be highly appreciated?
Please let me know what could have happened and how can I prevent it
in future.
Thanks,
Aman
