Something tells me I need to update my security…

Is there a bit more context to this? This just shows a bunch of image file names.
What are they?
About 15 gigs of screenshots from something pressing down my prtscrn button unknowingly, lol
At least I hope that’s what happened.
Looks like scrot pngs from here

How many of you actually disable root and password based login, change the default SSH port, and setup fail2ban?
I just don’t put SSH on the internet at all.
Is fail2ban not enough?
There’s no reason to allow root login, it’s asking for trouble. Password based login is even worse. Changing the SSH port just makes it harder for the drive-by bots trying the whole IPv4 range
Or you host a LOT of scrot pics.
You’ve been scrot’ed!
What service has been attacked?
Scrot is a Linux screen clipping/screenshot utility. It creates images with that name. My guess is you’re using that either directly or indirectly for screenshots.

If you aren’t ever taking screenshots, it’s possible some malware may be using that software and just doesn’t bother cleaning up after itself. It’d be pretty sloppy though.
My guess is my hard drive held down the prtscn button enough to amass 15GB of screenshots since they look like they’re taken seconds from each other and stopped after my HD filled up.
Maybe I got lucky and have an incompetent hacker.
