First, a little background:
In quite a few previous edits of my .bash_aliases file, I've used the
same alias to cd to a particular folder. Tonight I typed it in and got
the following as a return:
[/cygdrive/c/blu/newest]
mintty-cygwin>>smith
+ laugh
+ pwd
/cygdrive/c/blu/newest
+ cd /cygdrive/c/taiga/
+ pwd
/cygdrive/c/taiga
+ cd /cygdrive/c/taiga
[/cygdrive/c/blu/newest]
When I went to view .bash_aliases in nano, the alias 'smith' (changed at
my prerogative for discussion on this list) was missing. As far as I
know, it was there as recently as 5 AM today; I believe I used it around
noon today (27 September) as well.
Should I be worried? I've never heard of Cygwin being a target for
--the precise term escapes me at the moment so I'll say-- this kind of
intrusion, if that's what it is. As for potential "routes in," I have
sshd running on cygrunsrv but nothing else. Time to change my login
password, maybe?
