It is possible. I remember when I still worked at an ISP we had a call from police about a phishing webpage being hosted on one of our client's IP. It turned out the client was actually some inept granny and she had her shit hijacked, so they basically used her to host it lmfao :lol:

so I just got sued for sharing a movie on bittorent for about ten minutes around 5am about a month ago. 

Now I always have my PC on that energysaving mode over night,  and sometimes it jumps back on and runs all night. 

Which makes me wonder,  if my pc has some sort of infestation and is being used remotely by others? is dat possibru?

Might want to run a virus scan and separately check for rootkits

I used to joke that my laptop was haunted since it would boot up in the early am hours while I was asleep relatively often, however I forgot that I was merely putting it to sleep all the time and not shutting it down completely.

I used to get this but I never use sleep on my PC I turn it off fully. Turned out the power button wasn't working properly and was just turning itself on. I got a new case a few months later and all was well.
