An employee has reported that their computer has been typing slowly and intermittently displaying characters they did not type, which later disappear.

  • The workstation is being targeted by a brute-force attack.

  • There is a network packet sniffer capturing traffic on the local subnet.

  • The computer is experiencing a buffer overflow exploit in one of its applications.

  • A keylogger is installed on the workstation.

  • The employee's computer is infected with ransomware.

  • The workstation is undergoing a denial-of-service attack from an internal source.
