Netgear Armor did a vulnerability scan on Device that i did not own
I got a notification that a “Sony xperia z3 dual” was scanned but no vulnerability was found. We own zero android devices. I don’t see it anywhere on my network. Why/how was it scanned? I honestly find the notifications in Armor a bit worthless because it gives you zero information. Did this mean that someone outside our house tried to connect and it scanned but didn’t connect? I’m concerned that it’s scanning devices that are someone on my network but not ours. As I mentioned. We own zero Sony products and this is the first time I’ve ever seen a notification like this in years. Haven’t been able to find an answer online and all the connected devices are ones I’m aware of.

Got a screen capture of this?
What NG product do you have?
What other devices do you have?
Any one given the WiFi password, close friends, family or neighbors?
Also if Mac Addresses randomizers are enabled on phones or pads, would not show up as a Sony device, rather a UNKNOWN device in the connected devices list...so makes this harder to ID.
