you better becareful, later tio sued:eek:

use a VPN, if you are torrenting, speeds will be slow but atleast you are cloaked.

Mac is less likely to get infracted, but there is still a chance

So u mean actually report to police also no use because they can't do anything? Like catching him or blocking his IP?

What I meant is that the police have better things to do. While this episode may be painful for you, it is relatively small potatoes in the greater scheme of things.

Why nobody recommend checking if other devices on the same network are compromised? o.o

Well I just gave a statement so I don't think I can comment anything more for now... Thanks everybody for your help and advise, I have chosen to keep the ssd for evidence and will purchase a second hand hdd on hwz marketplace. Yes indeed I think my case is like peanuts and I shouldn't report it but since it's already done lets just wait and see what's going to happen next

Update your router's firmware
change passwords.

You never know it can be someone living close to you and gained access to your home internet and used VPN to play around.

I did a malwarebyte scan on my mothers laptop and turns out that there are 0 infected files, as for phones we all use iPhone so it shouldn't be a problem because the Apple advisor said as long as we change our password and security questions we are fine

Make sure you set your router profile again to ensure your network is not being hijacked.
