Do you have a reason to believe someone will investigate your electronic waste? If not then you're probably fine. If so you're still probably fine. Also you should be using FDE if you do illegal stuff.

>>1024867

everyone should be using FDE

Just forwarded this post to the police, I hope you rot you sick fuck

>>1024810 (OP)

> while watching certain material that is illegal in my country Denmark

Non-interracial porn?

Ok you sick fuck, no sympathy for you. You can be pretty damn sure whomever fucked your mobo got your IP etc. For your sake I hope you were just looking at political dissident shit and not NSFL shit.

But for everyone else: OP likely hit a honeypot of some kind and the rootkit fucked his bios or northbridge. Or both. Hell, it could still be sitting in the hdd firmware or the touchpad microcontroller.... But usually I only see this shit happen when the Chinese or Isrealies or Democraps think you are interesting enough to fuck with. Be boring anons. Be boring af.

For the love of god remove the fan belts.

Have tried filtering the blinker fluid?

if you're paranoid, drill a few holes into your hard drive.

Call this number, they will fix it for you.

>>1024810 (OP) I usually encrypt C and D drives by using VeraCrypt. But you didn't encrypt your H.D.D. so you have to overwrite them many times. Security professionals say 35 times is safe but I usually overwrite 3 times or 5 times using Eraser or CCleaner.

>>1024810 (OP) Child pornography is very dangerous stuff in some countries such as Denmark.

>>1024808 You have to concern only HDD and SSD not CPU and RAM.

>commits crime which will get life sentence

>computer starts acting fucky

>decide to post on a forum with no more than a few hundred active posters

the simple fact alone you were doing something which can ruin your life for no reason other than your beat your dick is bad enough as it is. you fucked up anon. you could either disappear into the russian wilderness, or into the afterlife. either way, life as you now know it is over. computers don't just randomly bite the dust for no reason, it would probably start acting strangely before dying.

if it is as >>1024890 says then you could probably sell it to some deepweb hacker faggot who is more interested in the malware that fucked your comp.

anyone else here except OP also collects child pornography?

>>1024810 (OP)

why can't you just get another motherboard?

>>1025928

Ah, I misinterpreted your post OP, thought it was an electrical issue with the motherboard since I had one short on me recently.

But if the l33t hackers (or CIA) have shut down your computer then you can be sure that you're fucked, go book a hotel room or live homeless in a distant location for a while.

OP is in Denmark where it is "prohibited and punishable by fine or prison publicly to threaten, insult or demean a group of persons because of their race, skin color, national or ethnic origin, faith or sexual orientation." So maybe he/she/it was watching old WWII speeches with the volume too high.

>>1024810 (OP)

Why would the government potentially damage evidence against you and alert you to the fact that they are aware of what you did? It's probably just a coincidence, or it caused by someone else. Anyway, posting about is even more retarded than whatever you did.

The RAM and Video Card may contain traces of the last thing you were doing. Make sure you remove and destroy them.

>>1024890

proof that the whitehat community is filled with autistic faggots. also OP is obviously a cuck intel user so he has no northbridge

>>1026231

Volatile storage is massively unlikely to have sufficient evidence to prove you wilfully possessed illegal content

>>1024810 (OP)

you're fucked

>this copypasta again

Ultimately it all depends on who you are and what kind of illegal material you were accessing. Given enough motivation, time, manpower and funding, they could even get remnant data from your ram chips, video ram chips, bios, screen or whatever.

You're probably just some random loser with a cp stash though, in that case just overwriting your hdd with zeroes is probably enough. Or, if you're really paranoid, do a 3-pass random data overwrite.

just throw a magnet on it

>>1024810 (OP)

Microwave your whole computer.

go to the police and tell them you did have CP on your computer but you've also been hacked. That always works.

just turn yourself in, op

>>1024810 (OP)

ram is not persistent and hdds can be destroyed separately. the real risk is that i just reported you to the danish police. enjoy pound me in the ass prison, pedo

>>1028108

He's danish, the worst that will happen is that they'll give him a playstation 3 instead of a playstation 4 in his apartment cell.

Child porn is really good fap materials!

>>1027667

>overwriting your hdd with zeroes is probably enough.

Provided it's a conventional drive and not an ssd. The only reason to wipe a drive rather than utterly destroying it is if you plan on using it again. Failing that, the best way to destroy data on hhd or ssd is to physically destroy every piece of it

>>1024875

this.

>>1024867

>Also you should be using FDE if ...

there is no "if".

>>1024890

this too but unlikely.

>>1027836

ehehehehehe

>>1028211

how do you know? I'm gonna report you.

>>1028224

it can't hold more data than it can hold, however. but if it's worthless to you for some reason (already malfunctioning for example), why not smash it to add more certainity.

I'm stuck in this ethical dilemma whether if I should give actual advice that prevents this sort of thing from ever happening in the first place or just ignore it and let this disgusting pedo get raped in prison.
