WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED!

[TCrowe]

I have this showing up in terminal. I found the hosts file but the actaul IP and RSA # don't show up in the known hosts file. Not sure how to get rid of this false key. s.ssh known hosts (etc) doesn't seem to do anything. Baffled as to what or where this came from. Any suggestions?

IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY!

Someone could be eavesdropping on you right now (man-in-the-middle attack)!

It is also possible that a host key has just been changed.

The fingerprint for the ECDSA key sent by the remote host is

SHA256:vM84AbrePYjPVb36c467lYKy+Ub56ty6fFQ6EOrtG/A.

Please contact your system administrator.

edit known_hosts or just
ssh-keygen -R <host>


It might happen if previously had accepted SSH con. to the server. And remote server has its hash key changed for some reason : mb a new server with the same IP or maybe you've reinstall OS ?

Be sure to double check mb it's really a MiM attack.
