We all know about our internet password security but the attached is a warning for all about our router passwords, some of which can be hacked as this sad story shows.

Saw that yesterday. Worrying time for the couple.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

They’re all the rage these scams. Only the other day I received a message from a ‘sexy Polish woman’ offering me an iPad Pro in return for a couple of díck photos. Don’t be fooled.

It was only an iPad Air.

If your router got hacked then you might be able to post on this or any other site.

It's an interesting horror story and reminder to change passwords for routers and anything else connected online such as security IP cams and so on. Bit unlikely though unless it was a neighbour, even parking outside the house they might not get a connection. Usually in these cases the simplest explanation is the solution so if I was them I'd be checking up on friends, relatives anyone who stayed over and used their WiFi. But it could all be some mad chain of events where somebody was banned from using devices at home so was stealing WiFi in their car to access images online, the usual M.O of these types of people is to sit at home and hide all their disgusting child abuse images.

My guess is they know somebody into that stuff and had no idea they looked at it at their place.

Just to bring it tangentially back to football.... Mansfield Town’s owners One Call Insurance currently have a huge problem after being hacked.

They have been hit by a Ransomware attack and have been unable to access any client information. The hackers are asking for £15m!

You should contact the police with your theory. I bet they never thought of that.
