I'm using ubuntu 13.10
Where did guest account zApDtG with root privileges come from? I can't gather much information, as this guest account has root privileges and being a brand new user, I don't. Is there a default root account created in the guest account file for all new users?
I know it has root privileges because when I try to move, delete, or any other file manipulation, it tells me that it has root privileges and I don't have the proper permissions to change anything.
ls -l /home/zApDtG
say? Anything suspicious in the logs? Sounds like you got hacked.sudo userdel zApDtG
If the account had a folder underhome
, typesudo rm -rf /home/zApDtG
to remove it.
