Just curious because I don’t have much money or any interesting information and I can’t figure out why anyone would ever want to hack my stuff 🤷🏼♀️
You can be hacked even if you're not personally targeted.
It does exist robots that scan Internet websites or / and IP address to find some security holes.
This is not rare than some hackers create robots to find security holes they want.
Example 1 : There are many websites vulnerable to SQL injections.
If someone create a robot to scan websites vulnerable to SQL injections.
This person can also program the robot to attack sites found by the robot.
If the individual have the data. He / she can release these or use these.
Example 2 : There are people who have an IPv4 (Very rare to see someone with an IPv4 connection that isn't under a NAT) or IPv6 connection connected directly to Internet that isn't under a NAT (This is rare to see IPv6 users using a NAT).
If a robot scan their IP address and find a security hole. It can exploit this hole to enter into the computer behind the public IP address.
In some cases a robot can exploit a way to pass through the NAT when there are one but it is rather rare.
If someone have data from your computer. He / she can release these or use these.
Example 3 : If a friend give you an USB device and don't know it is infected.
You can get a malicious software.
