Title: Hacked via VPN? Share Your Worst Remote Access Horror Stories

So I was using a VPN to work from a coffee shop last week and I ended up getting my crypto wallet drained via spear phishing email. Luckily, I caught it before they got away with too much, but it was still a nightmare to deal with. Has anyone else had any similar experiences with remote hacking?

"Yikes, that's insane! I had a similar issue a few years back where my coworker's VPN compromised our entire network. Luckily, our IT team caught it before any major damage was done"

Y'all, this happened to a friend of mine - he was using ExpressVPN and his account got compromised, but Express's support helped him sort it out within a day. Guess the VPN's zero-logging policy really paid off in this case. Still, it's a reminder to stay vigilant, right?

"Had a close call with a compromised VPN last year. Someone managed to access my account on a cloud storage service, and it was only a firewall update that saved the day. Still haven't found out how they got in"
