Multiple "users" on my single user computer Linux Mint 18.x
So, I'm logged in as usual, doing my stuff, but there seems to be 3 people logged in and I'm the only one using this computer at home.. ??
This is my 'w' output.. Code:

pts = Pseudo Terminal the numbers indicate you are running 3 separate pseudo terminals. The first one on gets pts/0, the next pts/1 etc...
This can happen if you open multiple sessions (e.g. PuTTY from MS Windows) or ssh in from other systems into this system It is also common if you're running a GUI Windows Manager such as Gnome or KDE and have opened "terminal" command line windows within your desktop. If you notice it doesn't show 3 separate users. It shows the user, oem, with 3 separate sessions. However, you COULD have different "users" on different sessions depending on what you are doing. Finally it does occur that on occasion if you neglect to "exit" a session properly but simply close it then it will still appear to be running. |

Perhaps I could turn it into a multi-part question (in case anyone has these same questions) and ask what might be the way of determining if my machine was a bot, or someone was running a meterpreter or some other hacking software session connected to a legit host thread (such as the KDBE5). ?? |

I also would like to block the micro phone to avoid being hack bugged . It may be as easy as plugging a 3.5 mm jack into the external microphone socket,(you know like how head phone disconnect the speaker) |
