I'd be happy to give your IP address quick scan to tell you what you have got exposed. Private message me your IP and i'll take a look. Its usually possible to determine software and patch versions of any ports that are exposed to the internet. If there are any exploits on those versions that...

Smart move. Cold storage is the safest. For crypto use a ledger x nano

@DiyNutJob Yes you are actually 100% right there. They are the enemy. Was that a Linux OS by any chance? They did the same to me. I was dual booting a Debian OS on one partition and Windows 10 on the other. Microsoft deleted the partition. Just like. After some research I confirmed it was...

Keep pumping up those 5 figures mate. You are so respected because of that.

Most forums have commonly asked asked questions added as sticky posts.

Yes of course OK. I am asking a bunch of clowns for answers and just getting nonsense back. You are right. I should have known better.

I am looking for answers. I use a lot of forums on a variety of topics. This forum has to to be the absolutely worst for talking chaff about everything accept what you asked for. Its like its full of people who have ego's artificially inflated by the number of posts that they have made. If you...

Its just a general enquiry on how to find the right builder for this job. I have all the drawings and approvals. Life is busy. I didn't have time to check back on this yet. I would have expected this sort of question first up.

Coming from Freddy Mercury. Who always did things they way they are supposed to be done of course :LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL:

You want to build a DIY theme park? Good luck. You won't get diddly from this forum.

Here you go. Its not the one I was looking for, but anyway. Alexa 100% records everything you say. Do you want the ears of the government and big tech in your home? No you certainly don't. https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/uk-news/alexa-recording-your-conversations-heres-17779015

I didn't even bother to look at this post since I posted it several weeks ago. I was expecting a few good pointers on what to look for or where to go at least. It says a lot about the sort of people on this forum tbh.

If you are not going to answer my question why bother posting? I asked for advice on how to find a competent builder for a build project?

Amazon got exposed for it about 18 months ago. I can't find the full article on it anymore. You could turn off the option in the settings previously to stop it from doing this. https://iot.stackexchange.com/questions/357/is-the-amazon-echo-always-listening-and-sending-data-to-the-cloud

@Harry Bloomfield Which 100% is true. I work in the industry mate. Its common knowledge for those in the know. https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/blog/amazons-alexa-never-stops-listening-to-you/

It depends what ports you have open and exposed to the internet and what software versions you are running. Have you been applying software patches? Have you setup any NAT rules? Usually if you installed compromised software it would only be the hacker that coded it that you would be open to...

Mate, I am nothing anywhere near a pro builder and this might sound crazy but I use excel. I am probably going to get ripped to shreds for posting this but I don't care. I have built many things, designed in excel. This is my biggest yet.

I would have a very serious think about whether you really want Alexa to be anywhere near any of your systems. Do you value your privacy? Do you want big tech listening to every single conversation that you have? I Alexa'd up my whole apartment a few years back. Then when I found out that all...

Hey forum, I have a rather large project on my hands here. I got planning permission to build a 9m x 6m single storey brick building at the bottom of my garden. My general builder is great. Can't mock him. He has maintaining my properties for years. Very good. I have consulted with him on this...

Its possible that you have been ransomware'd. Hackers out there are highly skilled at tracking down peoples crypto wallets and ransomwaring them. The thing is if you were ransomware'd you'd get a ransom note to pay the hacker to decrypt it. What makes you think it is encrypted? It looks more...
