[QUOTE="Victor M, post: 1108007, member: 96560"] repost. Volt Typhoon, an APT group, specializes in attacking home/SMB routers among other insignificant targets. And just to give you something to think about, hackers Always strive to stay hidden. You won't know that you were attacked if you a) aren't familiar with your Windows, b) don't frequently check and verify if any suspicious things has happened. That is one of the tasks that security teams perform - follow up on minuscule indicators brought up by their EDR or SIEM. When AV fails to detect and stop malware, a C2 is most often setup. Then you are in the hands of a hacker. What he would do in the months and years to come is anybody's guess. So stop pooh poohing the occasional new member who come here to look for help because they think they were hacked. It does happen. [/QUOTE]
