It's also possible that they are using their computer to access unsecured sites. There are some sites that are not safe.
The computer is mainly used to access reputed websites like Google, Bing. It appears that the hacking is mainly to cover up a massive online banking financial fraud, slavery racket in the internet sector since 2010.
One of the motivations for hackers targeting powerless private citizens could be to gather personal information for identity theft or fraud.
Online investors, workers are targeted for resume robbery, financial fraud since 2010, so identity theft may be the motivation for closely monitoring desktops.
Investors and workers are definitely at risk for identity theft and fraud. It's important for everyone to be vigilant.
