[QUOTE="Victor M, post: 1122443, member: 96560"] Your parents probably forbade you to play with matches while you were young fearing that you may burn down the house. That was an exaggerated fear don't you think. Well I played with matches anyways, taking the precaution to use the tile lined washroom standing in front of the toilet when doing so, so I can ditch the flame in the toilet should it get out of control. We attribute mythical powers to hackers. That is a mistake of incorrect thinking that ALL X = Y. Not all hackers are that good. We have read that some have breached air-gapped systems, leaped VLANs, bypassed firewalls, defeated this and that AV. Well, that is SOME hackers did, and those ones with advanced skills won't be bothered with you, they got bigger fish to go after. Your IP address belongs to a residential ISP, and they are busy doing reconnaissance of their cash rich targets. If some of those decided to take a look and are impressed with your advanced defenses, they might probe further. Well, Then you may have burned down the house. I would consider it an honor should the hacker royalties like eg Salt Typhoon pay me a visit. [/QUOTE]
