Oddities spontaniously pasted or typed into Putty SSH window [my mistake, i must have done this mys]

Another oddity, this just spontaneously showed up in a putty ssh session, i never actually typed this myself, nor did I copy and paste anything like this...; I am curious if this is social engineering, are actually valid and related in some way or just random bs, and if this is related to my issue @RMerlin says is impossible, yet happening, the incoming ICMP into the internal lan, or the attacks I received from an *asus.com domain:

I wonder if it is the router that is compromised and they hacked putty from there, or my PC. My PC is heavily protected; the only vector I can think could cause this at this time would HD controller or video-card; nothing detectable on the software level, and not using Intel Management here; its disabled.

Ok the router locked me out for a while, I was receiving an access denied when trying to ssh or access via browser. Seems it was rooted. Probably got my credentials when my Windows 10 machine was hacked not long ago, though that was effectively dealt with.
