Was going to say, this sounds more like a prank from a friend who had access to the machine, than an actual hack. A malicious hacker isn’t going to drop a “hibro.txt” on your desktop to mess with you. They aren’t going to be interactively watching your session at all. They’re going to silently keylog you for financial or identity details, or they’re going to install ransomware.

True, but better safe than sorry.
Definitely! I wouldn’t mess around with it either.
