    Any reason why not? I don't think most Americans are traveling to Nigeria and signing into their email. 100% of foreign attempts into my email are done by hackers. I don't see any technical reason why this could not be done. Cell phones can be setup to lock unless the camera does facial...

    Question Why is micro inverter saying its wifi connection is 433 mhz? I thought wifi is 2.4 GHz or 5.8 GHz ?
