Remote access technology is creepy

Postby Netherrealmer » 18 Sep 2018, 16:33

I think this technology is usually used by hackers to use your computer on your very front but I now experience the non evil aspect of it. I had issues with Skype today and the technical support of Skype as my permission to have remote access of your PC to fix my problem.

Holy smokes, the moment I agreed, My mouse cursor move on it's own. The technical support guy is using my PC and took over for a while. He is overseas but he fixed the problems of my computer.

There are actually repair people who can fix digital problems of a PC via remote access. Most of them works for some paid services but what Skype technical support did to me is free.

It is a creepy experience seeing my mouse cursor moving on its own and see someone else typing on my pc with a keyboard oceans away from me.

Every Computer should have installed firewall. In firewall you can block any remote connection on your Computer.

After that you need to be be careful what do you install in case you install something with remote control option.
