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.

Here's a couple you could have sent her:

You assume that the police came to any sort of conclusion based on their investigation, all they did was clear that couple of any wrong doing. They'd never get warrants for the neighbours or literally anybody who stayed at their home during that time as you need to provide evidence to get a warrant to search. All they had to go on was their IP address. They probably just shrugged their shoulders and made a guess at what could have happened because they have nothing else to go on. Knowing anything about how this stuff works it sounds more unbelievable than much more simple theories. Is it possible to hijack WiFi by "hacking" a password? Yes it is but it's a bit of a process unless you are able to consistently use it so it'd make more sense of somebody was able to be nearby. You can use your hub settings to see all devices currently connected so I guess if you see something you don't recognise then disconnect it from the hub and change your password again, don't use default ones. The suggestion of "brute forcing" WiFi passwords is quite amusing in itself as it's such an old way of doing things like this that are not used anymore. Social engineering is far more common, pretending to be your ISP or other official company calling and getting you to fork over all your details without even thinking about it. Anyone can do this with enough time to create a fake but official looking email and access an email box. You can even download lists of random email addresses quite easily to put in and let the emails do their work. You wouldn't need to buy a program that is able to brute force passwords and then spend time on every available WiFi connection hoping it can get a password for one.
