Hacker News Reader

Initial Hacker News discussion, mainly for the top comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11826431

I am not an expert. The top comment helped me assess the risk.

Of course but if I've learned anything from camping is to always prepare for the worst weather possible. Very smart to treat this as TV getting hacked versus simple password re-use due to the nature of money being taken from victims.

This is also why I'm glad I've never used the accounts for TV and have always resorted to the number generating system (if of course the breach is related directly to the accounts)

Make sure you have the number generation on the more secure option. I'm still using the accounts but only my machines are whitelisted to connect to each other, plus I turned on 2FA. The next step may be to turn it on to LAN-only mode and get my VPN working properly.
