Is this possible "When you were busy watching videos, your web browser began functioning as a RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) having a key logger which provided me accessibility to your display and your web camera controls. After that, the malware obtained all your contacts from messenger, fb, as well as email. "- MacOS 10.13.6 / Sophos 9.6.8 and Firefox 61.0.1 (64-bit)? If so, it's a serious flaw!

As I thought - there is no sign of any malware or virus, so they have gotten one password (not used in this machine) from somewhere else. Outbound connection / traffic logs don't have any anomalies. So - some my old connections, etc, nothing very important.

But the question stays - just curious - can Firefox be infected even not allowing changes, not installing anything, just browsing, i.e. is some function from outside allowed to do that? Shouldn't it ask a permission even if it is allowed for some (strange) reason?
