Who knows how government hackers work?
Advertisements [?]
When I got back from vacation I experienced trouble with my laptop and described the problem as such:

Basically, the screen would go dark though the computer appeared to be functional.

Another thing I noticed after returning, was how quickly my laptop would connect to my wireless. Before, I would have to wait several minutes and put it through diagnostics to get the IP address. But it seemed to get smarter while I was on vacation--except for the problem that the screen would go dark.

Well, two things have happened since then. The first was that the screen doesn't go dark anymore. The problem fixed itself.

The second has to do with a new wireless that appeared that was never there before. This isn't a very populated area and I'm familiar with the other wireless' in the area, but a new one flashed for just a few seconds before my computer picked up my wireless. I haven't seen the new wireless since and it was named: FLORIDA.

Does any of this sound like there may be someone hacking in the area?
