This message popped up right after I left Walmart. I am concerned someone.may have some kind of txt forwarding or etc. setup on my phone. Maybe something even more diabolical is at play? Anyone have any idea what this is? I have never seen it before.
Here's some info:
I was connected to my car Bluetooth;
This was right after I left walmart. Spotify is in the pic, but it automatically launches when connected to my car. This is normal.
I suspect What triggered this, was a txt from Walmart saying that my online order has been shipped.
Since I was connected to my car via bluetooth, my car replied
"I'm Driving"
-Sent from my car
Having pressed No for permissions, the message remains unsent. Of course I take screenshots of everything, so screenshots attached.
Also, I have a VPN service with Google One; however, it was not in use at the time. I was also not connected to any WiFi.
I get confirmations and texts all the time, and my car replies all the time. I haven't ever seen KnoxVpnPacProcessor
I saw another post on an S10 forum, and the conditions were similar, but there was no follow up or resolution.
Any help would be appreciated.
