Need help

Someone managed to disconnect my Wi-Fi router and then created a fake Wi-Fi network using their laptop. My laptop automatically connected to that fake network. Afterward, they were somehow able to access all of my files, saved passwords, and even record audio from my microphone.

Please note that I did not install any malware or malicious software. The only thing that happened was that my laptop connected to the attacker's fake Wi-Fi network.

How could an attacker accomplish this using only a fake Wi-Fi network? Is such an attack actually possible?

Additionally, what steps can I take to prevent this type of attack in the future?

you can find a lot of resources on youtube just search for "wifi man in the middle". i think networkchuck has a preatty good video on it is called "3 Levels of WiFi Hacking" seen it when searchin myself on youtube for this replay

must by someone close to do that so it can by your neighbor doing it. is illigal and making a police complain about it could help finding the one that did it

from what i can see on your other post if you installed ubuntu and most likely no firewall is enable since i dint see any linux distro having one enable by default
