[QUOTE="Rov123, post: 1115251, member: 118385"] This may sound very tinhat foil to the majority of people, but I have been a victim of a sophisticated attack for a while now to my family and home network and devices. I got sick of it all, so I decided to buy a brand new laptop and a brand new on-the-go 5G hotspot network device. I went to a coffee shop with them to use, and within half an hour to an hour, the network device was attacked immediately. I looked at the network device alerts, and multiple times, it said "A new wifi device has joined the network", I checked and no devices were shown, but it kept saying and spamming that for almost 5 minutes straight. Only my laptop was connected to it, and there weren't any connection drops, so I do not know why it kept spamming those messages. If this was a real attack, and my network device was truly hacked, how is it possible? Because the hacker is not near me locally I believe, they are from across the world. How did they manage to pinpoint and attack me while I was using an isolated device and network? Does this sound plausible? If we look at the bigger picture, I could be a random person using a random laptop and a network, but they manage to find me. The device is called "Inseego MiFi X PRO". The device literally was advertised "Comprehensive security measures, including advanced encryption, guest wifi network, hacker prevention, SASE capabilities, and VPN/ZTNA support. Guarantee safe and secure connectivity to your enterprise network, even for remote workers accessing it from anywhere in the world." And it was hacked immediately. [/QUOTE]
