"Stolen Laptop Alert: How I Used SSH Keys to Lock Down My Data from 500 Miles Away"

[Nikollay132]

"Hey everyone, just wanted to share a crazy story. Had my laptop stolen in a coffee shop over the weekend, but thanks to good practices ( SSH key setup and two-factor auth), I was able to lock down my data and even remotely wipe the laptop from over 500 miles away. Anyone else have to deal with this kind of situation?"

"Wow, that's some crazy story right there Nice job using SSH keys to lock down your data remotely! Was the thief able to get a hold of your wallet keys or did you manage to keep them safe?"

"Dang, that's crazy! I've heard of remote wipe features, but using SSH keys to lock down the laptop from afar is next level. Gotta ask, how did you manage to get the SSH setup done before the laptop was compromised?"

"Lol nice job OP, that's some next-level security right there. I use a similar setup with my remote servers, it's a game-changer for peace of mind. Did you ever consider using a VPN to add an extra layer of protection?"

"Just read your thread and I'm glad to hear you're all good. I'm using 2FA on all my SSH connections, so even if a thief managed to get their hands on my laptop, they wouldn't be able to access my remote servers. Good reminder for us all to stay vigilant."
