Dude YES @lily_torres31 that is literally the same thing I went through! I picked up a "free" step counter from a health fair last year. Didn't read a single word, just grabbed it. Two months later my health plan sends me a congratulations email for hitting my weekly step goals. I was so creeped out. They definitely didn't ask permission either. Now I just use a regular pedometer from the dollar store. No Bluetooth, no app, no nonsense.

And the wild part nobody's talking about - those bots might be more interested in your network layout than actually getting in. @aaronsullivan is right about locking it down, but check what else they scanned. I caught mine pinging every device IP on my subnet, mapping my whole home setup. That creeped me out more than the failed logins.

Huh, maybe you just needed one that looks like a book so you wouldn't toss it.

Wait you’ve been hammering nails with the wrong side for 8 years?

Honestly I used to roll my eyes at people who complained about bank security stuff. I was always like just plan ahead keep a backup card whatever. But then last year I was at a grocery store in a different state visiting my sister. Bought like $8 worth of snacks and a soda and boom my card got flagged. It was a Saturday so nobody at the bank could help until Monday either. I had like $2 in cash and no way to get gas or food. Totally changed my mind. Now I keep a little emergency cash hidden in my car and I tell everyone to do the same because banks really don't care if you're stranded over a dumb sandwich purchase.
