If it was a stranger, you deserve what you get. The internet is a
community, and when you enter it, you ARE in a public space. You might
want to pretend you are hidden and can do what you want, but that is not
so. You are broadcasting your information, and only the fact that the
other computers don't pay attention to you gives the illusion that you
have a private connection.
You don't have a private connection, no one ever said you did, and no
one will guarantee that you do.
If it was a friend, pick better friends.
