Hello all
Regarding the topic of someone hacking into the regular Joe WIFI.
Its been posted earlier on this thread and I've read this across other posts in other communities etc...
I would like to leave a devils advocate hypothetical scenario(s) for your consideration.
A general assumption that most private networks are of no interest to the drive by guy with a router on his pocket, this while it may be true in SOME cases may not be necessarily true for all cases.
Consider who the average Joe is and Joes occupation and that Joe may not be so popular with some work colleague or a neighbor or had a falling out with someone, an ex, a spouse. and so on.
The point is, some reasons which may drive people with the necessary skills and equipment to commit such acts can often be motivated by less clear motives and not just for financial gain.
Have a nice weekend. _________________ Saving your retinas from the burn!🔥
