I a total novice here. Problem is … I have no idea why I even have an additional power supply cord attached to my modem.
My ISP initially installed my computer modem a few years ago. Modem plugged directly into computer … then to outlet. No other power supply present.
A couple weeks ago, I found a AC adapter power supply one end plugged into modem, leading to small black box … from small black box … plugged into outlet.
Contacted ISP Provider to ask why the power supply was there. They did not install that and suggested that it may be a battery backup. I did not install that.
Just doesn’t make sense to me (I do have an ex-husband who has been stalking me and has made several attempts — sometimes successful — to hack his way into my computer). Has illegally accessed my home in the past.
Can someone explain to me if that “power supply” box can provide computer info to outsiders?
Delta Electronics Inc, AC adapter Input/Output. Motorola “for use with technology equipment”.
I’d appreciate any help!!
I removed it from my modem and outlet and lost internet connection.
