A final message appeared, this one in plain English, from the Comodo module:
Elara froze. She hadn't opened any sketchy attachments. She hadn’t visited any strange sites. She was just watching cat videos.
And in the system tray, a new notification appeared:
She clicked “View Details.” A window expanded, revealing a 3D topology map of her network. Her laptop was a single green dot. Surrounding it, like a swarm of black locusts, were thousands of red dots—each one a compromised device. Her neighbor’s tablet. The coffee shop router. Even the smart bulb in her hallway, which she now noticed was flickering in a rhythm that looked suspiciously like Morse code for “HELP.”
