Is someone keylogging me?

Question

recently, my youtube account has been hacked and recovered multiple times. No matter how complicated I make the password, the hacker would still be able to re-hack my account. I suspected him of planting a keylog virus on the computer via a link. I downloaded a program called rootkit to check the system for activity. The following is an excerpt from the data results:

Checking if syslog remote logging is allowed [ Warning ]
Syslog configuration file allows remote logging: install.* @127.0.0.1:32376

Performing filesystem checks
Checking /dev for suspicious file types [ Warning ]
Suspicious file types found in /dev:
/dev/fd/7: data
Checking for hidden files and directories [ Warning ]
Hidden file found: /usr/share/man/man5/.rhosts.5.gz: gzip compressed data, from Unix


I am not sure if this definitely means I am being keylogged.
If this does, does anyone have any advice on how to get rid of the keylogger?
(I have a mac)

PS: In the future...never let anyone have remote access to your computer unless its a trusted source.

Answer 2

It could be more than key logger, or key logger could be a decoy. You could have anything from a packet sniffer situation right on through someone being authorized to enter your computer remotely.



I would suggest finding a professional to go over the system and show you what to look for, how to check if something looks off, and any other pertinent data.

Answer 3

I don't know, but I would recommend making a new account in a different device. Type your account info onto a phone or another device, and then copy/paste your info into the login thing. I don't think key loggers can detect that.
