RE: Is my system Hacked?



Do a "grep "Mar 25 23:20" /var/log/messages". You will see if the attempt
was successful. Also you might find what user he tried to log on as. You can
contact that user and asked him/her if they tried to log in that day.

Looking at it, one can only say that it is a probable attempt.
