How fucked am I, and how can I unfuck it? He was suppose to get a burner phone before leaving, but apparently his company's IT people "forgot" and never ordered one. The solution was that he was going to get a replacement phone when he returned and just trash his current one, but now he's connected to our home wifi, so the damage is done.

The solution is that you move out and get your own damn internet
Gavin Perez
What are you worried about?
Joshua Bell
You're screwed OP. You need to trash all the devices that connected to the same network. No cleaning will get rid of the chinese virtual filth.
Nolan Young
Believe me, that's my goal. Unfortunately, it's a bit late for that now, in respect to the current China security situation.
Oh, you know, just Chinese spyware/malware spreading across all the devices on our network. No big deal, really.
Pic related.
Brayden Roberts
What does your Dad do that makes you think they're going to unleash some ultra secret malware on your local network?
Even if they do they won't care what his loser son is doing, might have some laugh at you but they're not the only ones.
Justin Clark
>Chinese spyware because he visited china Protip: There are millions of chinese people in the US that recently came back from china. You're literally fucktarded.
Leo Gonzalez
exactly not a big deal unless you habit wearing tinfoil hats, changing your water purifiers and wearing electromagnetic wave blocker aluminium blankets on daily basis
Jayden Mitchell
The Chinese government is going to know he faps to Chinese cartoons now :^)
Easton Roberts
What are you hiding?
Carter Scott
The company I used to work for opened up a new market in China and when the execs would travel there they would literally throw away their phones when they landed in the us.
Benjamin Perry
Doesn't mean they had any good reason to do this.
Most security policies are more stupid than efficient.
Adam Gutierrez
$500 phone is a cheap insurance policy for a multi billion dollar company.
Jaxon Myers
I don't say they can't afford it, plus of course they could use a $20 phone or whatever if they cared.
It doesn't however mean they gained shit all for security by doing this.
Justin Young
Got any proof that he brought back China cooties?
Nathaniel Myers
>What does your Dad do that makes you think they're going to unleash some ultra secret malware on your local network?
He works for a biotech/pharmaceutical company that's looking to expand into the Chinese market. The Chinese want to have control of the technology and manufacturing processes, but his company is only interested in selling the finished product.
That what was SUPPOSE to happen, but the IT folks at the office apparently can't be bothered to do their job and actually supply the phone.
No, but I'm still concerned.
Aaron Hill
N..Nothing, user.
Lucas Morris
Your only option now is leaving a network monitoring tool record everything and check for shady connections to chinese IPs
Brayden Reyes
m8 you're already under the control of the chinknet each device on your home network is probably running like a thousand runescape bots
Thomas Howard
the chinese spyware is at the firmware level OP, you will never notice it affect your latency or software.
But it will remotely turn on shit and spy on you.
Benjamin Rogers
hope your ass is greased and ready, cause the chinks own you now
Ryder Nguyen
>his company is only interested in selling the finished product.
I know you aren't in the company, but that ship set sail like 15 years ago.
