I'm curious if it's really possible for someone to access my WiFi and any connected devices without me being aware. For instance, sometimes when I log into one of my devices, like my phone or TV, it shows up under parental controls in the Verizon Home app as a "WiFi UI PC". That really puzzled me! Could a hacker have gotten in without any unknown devices showing up on my router? Any insights would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Honestly, it's more about realistic scenarios than just the hypothetical ones. If you've got a strong WiFi password and a solid admin password for your router, plus a modern and updated router, it's very unlikely that anyone's snooping on your network. Most of the time, the smart devices you add are the ones sharing more of your personal data than any potential hacker will.
Totally agree! I feel like a lot of people think hackers are tracking their Netflix shows or something. It's just not that common!
