Can we discuss Wifi security brehs?

[Dragonfly Jones]

Just checked my google history setting and found out someone logged into my gmail account a couple days ago with a Mac


I don't own no damn Apple products


Changed my pw but I'm still wondering how someone managed to do that shyt....





So yeah, I guess this will be the internet security thread on this forum.



Nerds, hackers, and experts please share your advice on security

that protects devices but how do u keep ppl out of ur wifi altogether?


I have a long as password with a bunch of random letters and numbers and someone still managed to crack the code

Rename your wifi to "Secret FBI Wifi". nobody would hack into that.

Breh you probably have your router password as default. Network password doesn't mean shyt if somebody can just login into your router and look at your ssid password (atleast some routers show it )

Edit : I hope you don't have a WiFi name that's a dead give away that your cable guy set it up like twc8093 lol

How do you know they logged into your account with a Mac? Maybe you logged in and Mac was referring to your own MAC address.

In the login history of the gmail account theres a list of times you've logged in and next to it is the device you used


In mind it says Windows, Windows, my phone and then "Mac"


Samsung Galaxy Note II is on there and I don't have that phone

Yeah I haven't changed virtually anything, the name is a bunch of random numbers and letters and the pw is like 10 random letters and numbers I assumed no one would bother trying to figure out


I should change it?

Somebody hacked into my shyt (I get hacked into a lot for whatever reason....I did used to work for the gov though ). I made the key like 27 random letters/characters, etc (literally like 27...the password was a pain in the ass to enter). They were never able to hack into me again.

Edit: I also renamed it to something very similar to other wifi around me. Nobody knew it was me anymore.

What did you do breh if you don't mind me asking?

 

[daze23]

somebody getting into your Gmail probably has nothing to do with your wifi security

Office of Naval Research.

Edit: I took out the rest. Hopefully you read it. I decided I didn't want that other info out there

Probably some mope in Uzbekistan phished your account and is using his Mac to send out spam via your Gmail

How would one even gain access to that tho?

I'm running with firefox/noscripts/adblock, malwarebytes premium and peerblock, with MSE/MD sprinkled on top.

That's not enough?
