My PC is hacked (lemmy.world)

I just received a call from an indian microsoft technician. He informed me that my PC is sending a ton of error messages to microsoft. Most likely it has been hacked, and he would help me by remoting in and fixing the problem for me. I just wonder... Is it my PopOs or my Manjaro PC that sends all this info to microsoft?

Yeah, I believe Kitboga did this with his voice disguised as an old woman.
