I am one grade ahead of you rubicon. In the three months we have lived here my Verizon Cell Phone was hacked, shut down while we were in Miami. It was rough to get it fixed up again but I give all the credit to the Samsung, Verizon staffs, they actually worked together on the same phone call with me to resolve the problem. On the second attempt on Nite number 3 of trying we together repaired the problem and recovered all my information.
Next my Bose Companion 5 computer speakers were damaged during a attempted hack while attached to our Windows 10 computer. The repair was only $50 but mailing the unit back to Bose is a real hassle.
The one that takes the cake is after 5 plus years of flawless operation of my beloved Mac desktop computer it got something that to a person with my knowledge looked like a virus. Remotely I gave control over a technician at Bitdefender
where my sister worked and he removed several virus like things and returned me to ship shape.
I am the only one using this computer 99% of the time and do not enter any weirdo sites and I believe I can recognize a fugazy pop up or bad email. I just pass them by and delete them. So after several weeks and a new Protector in place my computing is uneventful again thankfully. I just hope it wasn't from Centurylink because I really like the company. I had internet service during the recent storm, in NJ with Concast that was not a possibility.
