Fair enough, but in this case there are several massive red flags that OP was experiencing a variant of "targeted individual" delusion. (The confidence without evidence that their neighbor was a determined hacker group, using a complex zero-day to attack them at home personally, tie-ins to fear/belief of this being a widespread phenomenon).

I had a stretch of a year or so a decade ago where I was going through something very similar, down to the belief a hacker group was targeting my WiFi network despite the great lengths I was going to secure it during the setup process inside an RF shielded area, yet they still kept "getting in" somehow... so I recognize the signs.

If OP can re-read their comment later on in a different mindset, they may start to notice things that felt so certain at the time don't actually add up logically in retrospect, that's how I ended up breaking out of it eventually.
