So I could not login since a month or so, but was still authenticated via the iOS App, which is why I was not bothering.

Today I changed my password and saw that there was a new User “LovelyHackerNextDoor”, and from what I can see a backup was created (and I guess downloaded) by this hacker. I guess this person also changed my password.

In theory, is there any real harm a hacker can do when he has access to a Home Assistant instance? I don’t have any personal stuff in HA itself, but it is running on the same server my Nextcloud is running. I’m pretty sure there’s nothing of value in my HA data itself, besides maybe all the stuff Teslamate is logging.
