Is My WiFi Hacked? A Bizarre Evening of Technical Woes

Have you ever found yourself questioning the security of your online presence? Recently, I faced a perplexing situation that led me to think my WiFi might have been compromised. It’s a story that reads like a modern horror film, and I’m hoping to share my experience while perhaps finding some validation—or at least a sympathetic ear—in this bizarre digital dilemma.

The Unexpected Logout

Last night, I was enjoying a casual evening at home, indulging in a movie while scrolling through Facebook. The tranquility was suddenly shattered when I was abruptly logged out of my Facebook account, with a message indicating that my session had expired. As I enchanted by the flick on my screen, I didn’t immediately notice something was amiss; the film was now playing in a language I didn’t recognize! I had been engrossed in the story for about thirty minutes, which made this sudden shift even more disorienting.

Signs of a Possible Breach

Feeling a sense of unease, I attempted to regain access to my Facebook account. Upon logging into the email linked to my profile, I made a startling discovery: the associated phone number had been changed. Since I certainly wasn’t the one who made that change, my concern deepened.

This morning, I dove back into my email, hoping to retrieve the verification code from Facebook—a task easier said than done, considering I received no such email. While rummaging through my inbox and filtering through the junk folder, I stumbled upon something truly bizarre: an email intended for someone else. The message, coming from an “Adult Dating” service, was addressed to a Hotmail account that bore no resemblance to mine. I hadn’t been included in any sort of group conversation; this email was explicitly meant for someone else entirely.

A Flicker of Fear

The twisted tales of horror films I’ve watched recently, where characters encounter digital malice, began to play in my mind. I couldn’t help but wonder: could this be happening to me? Have I unwittingly become a character in one of those chilling stories, where personal information is lifted, and chaos ensues?

Now, I’m reaching out to you—do I sound foolish for thinking my WiFi may have been hacked? Have any of you experienced a similar incident that left you questioning your online safety?
