I recently received my laptop from repair and I just had a hunch that something fishy might have happened so I checked the log files on Windows Event Viewer and it turns out that my laptop has been successfully logged on into while it was sent for repair.
It was sent for repair as it could not be charged. The logs show that the laptop was turned on for a few seconds, twice on the same day it was handed over. I assume this is just the repair person doing some preliminary tests.
3 days later it was used again for 5 mins and then nothing until I received it. During this time the security logs that really worry me are two consecutive events with Event ID: 4624, An account was successfully logged on. The Logon Type is 2, which means a user logged on. The account name is my name.
The same event is logged when I manually logon to my laptop. Does this mean that my laptop's password has been hacked? Is there any other explanation for these logs?
I have a local account on windows 10 with a fairly strong password. I know that my laptop can be hacked. Is there a way to tell that it was hacked for certain? I have used antivirus software but it detects nothing.
