There's a link to how I discovered this problem below this paragraph. After reading and participating in this thread I enabled desktop sharing on my own laptop and sniffed network traffic at the same time. That's how I discovered the network traffic going out upon enabling desktop sharing. At first I didn't believe vinagre was the problem as I'd used it some time back(3 or 4 years ago, or more) and it had not behaved this way back then. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r25446313-Ubuntu-computer-hijacked-by-hacker -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
