General Discussion

went to the regional FBI office--who were not helpful. Maybe if I had DJT levels of (stolen/grifted) $$$$. that said, I did manage to get a report out of them for future "protection" and validation. They were interested from the standpoint of the DEA (as mentioned below) but not from my own data compromise and stolen funds.

I still have trouble talking about it because unlike this article, it was not clearly my own single preventable mistake but a unfortunate combination of factors. I was doing a favor covering for a colleague at his clinic and his wifi was inadequately protected but likewise being targeted for DEA numbers--apparently in a planned drug theft ring. But, while they were in his wifi, well... my own cell was connected temporarily to let me access some clinically-relevant, but more general information. It had never occurred to me that his wifi would not be super secured, but... Today, there are readily available VPNs and far more comprehensive security software for cell phones, which I have since acquired and use religiously. But, even three years ago? Not so much.

Well, it is still painful and I will likely never be fully "whole" from the incident--on any level.

So, be careful folks. This article is useful, but do some additional reading too.
