Anyone else had their Chromecast randomly renamed by hackers? Mine has had it's name changed to some instagram account, but apart from that I have no idea of what level of damage has been done or in what way my system is compromised.
Fucking annoying as I haven't got time to deal with shit like this right now.
It sounds like you have uPnP enabled in your router settings - this is the main way people can get access to 'smart' devices in your home network. It's usually set as on by default on your router and really shouldn't be. Unless you've got some specific reason to have it on, turn it off.
