yes

, there is a possibility of it occuring
G

10/19/25, 3:59 PM
because being on your network removes a bunch of layers of defense
G
guninvalid over coax alliance
•
10/19/25, 4:00 PM
but windows 10
/11 have pretty good default settings in 2025
, they
're resistant to most types of attacks out of the box
G
guninvalid over coax alliance

10/19/25, 4:00 PM
so as long as you didn
't disable windows defender firewall
, you
're fine
