One of my home servers was popped once, they stuck a new MOTD on there to let me know how foolish I was and I haven’t made that mistake since. So… yay greyhat?

All you have to do to avoid this is just not open any ports except one for something like wireguard, and only access your network using it externally, and you will never have this problem.
