I take it you must be aware that the threat of a felony means next to nothing when it comes to computer hacking, right? If it did people and companies wouldn’t be getting owned left and right, and the security industry wouldn’t be so huge. It’s very good and realistic advice. Ignore it at your own risk I suppose, just don’t be surprised when the obvious happens.

>I take it you must be aware that the threat of a felony means next to nothing when it comes to computer hacking, right? I literally just warned you that's not the case. Even if the FBI doesn't prosecute, you can respond physically[0], but I was more speaking in the context of someone hacking wifi, where they're in close physical proximity, not the other parent's example of a remote attack. (That's why you hack... because you can do it remotely.) For context, I had a neighbor literally hack a speaker I was using to do personal, private calls, protected by PA's 2 party consent state. I don't like when people invade my privacy, repeatedly, then do a shocked Pikachu[1] when the result is to respond like an Appalachian with multiple degrees and ten years of policy experience paired with the skills of a woodsman trained by the Boy Scouts just before they went bankrupt.

  No no no. You cannot respond to a hacker with deadly force, except in a special circumstance where you reasonably fear imminent death or serious bodily injury. I’m not going to sit here and argue with your other misguided points, but that is dangerously wrong.
