Well I know we talked about vote bots and what not but a scroll through my bl9g you will see i was recently hacked and it WAS a wifi hack. It looks good that you have pre-emptively caught this though. Wifi hacking is a big problem and if it's on one device it'll be on all your devices that use that specific WIFI. not trying to freak you out just explaining what i learned the hard way. I'm sure Norton can combat a lot of it but just be careful regarding other devices on the wifi network.
If worse comes to worse and you think your wifi is compromised kumar solutions can fix it. Btw a hacker doesn't have to be right outside your door to be compromising your wifi all they need is your IP address.
Well, I'm sure you will be okay just make sure any other devices that use your home wifi are on the home wifi and not some weird thing you've never heard of.
Secondly they may be on the home wifi but behaving strangely. Those are the things I'd look out for. Best of luck! =)
Edit to add I see you're mostly talking about norton but some of the other elements of your "story" hit a little too close to home, hence my elaborate reply. =)
I think we're all good now, but I really appreciate the hints. I figured that all the devices would have the same message. We don't have many other devices on our network, so we have good visibility there. I figured that people could hack in remotely, but I don't feel great knowing that all they need is my IP address. Grrr.
Thanks for reading. I know this was a longer post. :)
No problem glad your issue seems to be clearing up. =)
Yeah it's unsettling but hackers these days are getting pretty crafty
I flagged a guy down below in the comments for posting just a link to his post. I checked it out in another browser that wasn't logged in, so I wouldn't get confused. It was an actual Steemit link and post, but it was garbage, and it was totally unrelated. In these times when people are phishing for accounts, I didn't want people potentially getting scammed from someone who is just spamming. I left a fairly detailed message so he would know why I did it, but he hasn't responded. At least it's not phishing. That's what the world has come to. :(
Yeah but it is scam so good thing you flagged
