A virus perhaps unlikely but what if someone took over your pi?
Did you open a port on the router to allow access from outside?
Did you change the standard username and password?
-
Is it possible to have a virus on the raspi?
-
@rikki78 I did open up a port. But i also did change the standard user name and password
-
Which port is that? Did you remove the standard user and reboot the pi?
-
port 82 and yes i did reboot the pi and had to login again on the webinterface withthe new password
-
Hmm then it seems unlikely. Can you monitor where the traffic comes from perhaps?
-
@rikki78 no i don’t know how to do that. My provider only tells me it comes from my ip-address.

maybe one of these tools will help

It seems indeed unlikely that someone took over unless someone “listened” in on your unencrypted http traffic and intercepted your userid/password.
And then you have to have the ssh port or the like open and your debian userid/password should be the same as your pimatic userid/password.
Or the hacker knows pimatic and knows how to install software via the rules (which is actually dead easy as pimatic runs under root).
All quite unlikely but definitely a reason to use http ssl if you open up pimatic to the outside world.

For all users!!
If you are on debian like most raspi’s here, you can easily fix it.If you were already attacked: this will not fix it.
Note: I placed it here to inform users. The mentioned vulnerability in the article might be totally unrelated to the issue mentioned in this thread, but as soon as a vulnerability gets attention, hackers start to try out.
