Recently, my house was raided by the police at 6 AM, and they seized my family's phones and my computer. Our lawyer mentioned that cybercriminals can track our home Wi-Fi, which got me wondering about the extent of this ability. I understand that tracking is possible, but what exactly can be seen? I've heard claims that everything from browsing history to keystrokes can be accessed if there's spyware involved, but I'm unsure how much they can really monitor. Anyone have insights on what's trackable through Wi-Fi?

It really depends on the situation. Generally, police can see general internet traffic through your Wi-Fi, but unless you have malware or something like a keylogger on your devices, they can't see passwords or messages. Most browsing is encrypted nowadays, so they wouldn't see your keystrokes unless you had a virus on your PC. For the average person, it's rare that cybercriminals would specifically target you unless you’ve caught their attention for some reason.
If they're tracking your Wi-Fi, it means they potentially gained unauthorized access to your router. How they did that could be a bigger concern. Once they've got access, who knows what else they could see? If you're worried about privacy, it might be a good idea to take a closer look at your network security.
Well, in my case, I'm not in the US. I live in Türkiye, and I've heard the systems here aren’t as robust as in the US. People have even managed to hack into government systems quite easily. I'm worried that hackers could access sensitive data just by exploiting minor flaws.
Ultimately, if you're not a high-profile target, tracking might not be as prevalent as it sounds. Cybercriminals usually focus on high-value targets rather than your average household unless you've installed suspicious software.
