I rebooted and was met with this dialogue. First time I have seen it before. Did I somehow get hacked? What could cause this to suddenly appear?

Maybe Crash Processes Viewer?

I freshly installed KDE Neon 1 week ago. No untrusted software installed. Makes no sense how anything malicious could be responsible, so I’m curious to know what you think is the cause.

It’s the recently added remote desktop server being enabled somehow.

Disable it in system settings.

It’s a new default application in [Plasma 6.1](https://kde.org/announcements/plasma/6/6.1.0/)

Any idea why it is being enabled? “It’s the recently added remote desktop server being enabled somehow.”

No idea, I’ve seen it myself, and a few others have noted it here. It doesn’t seem to be specific to any distro.

One person reported a bug.

Probably a misconfiguration somewhere. I just turned it off after playing with it.
