Has anyone else been cyberattacked? My Graphene Pixel 8 borked last night - black brick. My principle Fedora laptop's screen develops epilepsy and becomes unusable after 10 minutes and my homelab server is down with a corrupted RAID drive.

On old phone, thankfully with synced Aqua, Zeus & Phoenix wallets.

The only thing that's survived the Russian hackers is my nostr:nprofile1qqs9df4h2deu3aae83fmet5xmrlm4w5l9gdnsy3q2n7dklem7ezmwfcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz3rhwvaz7tekd3jks6rev3ehyargv9nk66tnxe6h2dn5w43kuerk0fmnwcm4vfc8z6mgweu8j7fhdfhkjmmrxs6k66mnwg6x2cty9ehku6t0dchsz9mhwden5te0wfjkccte9ehx7um5wghxjmnxduhs5nd6j2 Server.

Thats crazy! My old pixel 3xl died a few months back out of the blue, most likely from old age, but I treated it pretty well and there were no warning signs, hadn't considered it might have been something malicious.

It's most likely just a bad run of luck. Always more room to level up.

Oh man I don't envy you. That sounds like the start of a really shitty few days

Thanks. Back to the Stone Age.

Tried to zap you but failed 😔

Thanks for letting me know. Will put it on the list ;)

Should be back up.

Still unable to send

Bugger. Switched LN Addresses until resolved, hopefully soon. Node is live.

How happy are you with Start9 server? Is server one enough? Thinking about it. You add a monitor and you ready to go?

DIY, old ThinkPad. Will upgrade to server hardware but been rock solid for me.

Great. What applications do you use the most if I can ask? Bitcoin Core full node? From what I heard it's quite easy to run the apps.

I keep it simple - Bitcoin Core, Electrs, CLN, AlbyHub.

Did you have any security or privacy software to protect any of those devices?

I didn't but most likely this is just bad luck rather than being attacked. My Bitcoin is in offline cold storage and dedicated Sparrow Debian Stable laptop is fine..

Pixel 8 finally restarted. 1 of 3 fixed.
