Subject: Did government hackers stop the syslog daemon in my pfsense firewall with FreeBSD 15.0-CURRENT? Good day from Singapore, Yesterday, 3 March 2026 Tuesday, I have discovered that all logging activities in my pfsense firewall with FreeBSD 15.0-CURRENT had stopped after 2026-02-28 12:26:47. Did government hackers stop the syslog daemon in my pfsense firewall with FreeBSD 15.0-CURRENT? With no firewall logs at all since 2026-02-28 12:26:47, it is impossible to tell if government hackers had compromised my pfsense firewall with FreeBSD 15.0-CURRENT. Am I right? Government hackers are so smart and intelligent. They stopped the syslog daemon in my pfsense firewall. Now I cannot do any tracing and forensic investigation at all. I had to restart my pfsense firewall at 12.18 am Singapore Time on 4 Mar 2026 Wednesday. Syslog logging came back. 2026-03-04 00:18:04 Syslog.Info 192.168.88.1 Mar 4 00:18:11 syslogd: restart 2026-03-04 00:18:04 Kernel.Info 192.168.88.1 Mar 4 00:18:11 syslogd: kernel boot file is /boot/kernel/kernel 2026-03-04 00:18:04 Kernel.Critical 192.168.88.1 Mar 4 00:18:11 kernel: ---<<BOOT>>--- 2026-03-04 00:18:04 Kernel.Critical 192.168.88.1 Mar 4 00:18:11 kernel: Copyright (c) 1992-2024 The FreeBSD Project. 2026-03-04 00:18:04 Kernel.Critical 192.168.88.1 Mar 4 00:18:11 kernel: Copyright (c) 1979, 1980, 1983, 1986, 1988, 1989, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994 2026-03-04 00:18:04 Kernel.Critical 192.168.88.1 Mar 4 00:18:11 kernel: The Regents of the University of California.
