These things succeed because of lax attitude to protection online.

Anyone with common sense should spot something amiss since your internet connection will be active when it would normally be idle.
Yes I know the activity icon flashes at random, but this will be different.
your FW will request an outgoing connection or block the attempts dependant on your config.
In any case, correctly functioning firewalls should stop it, right?

If you want to keep an eye, Install a bandwidth monitor, or simply watch the connection icon.
