I think someone is trying to scare me with their SSID name

Question

This is occurring on my Windows 10 Laptop.

So I was just minding my own business when I accidentally pressed the Airplane mode button. Naturally I reconnect to the WiFi but whilst doing so I spotted an SSID name a few places down. The name of the connection was the exact same as one of my personal usernames from a game I use to play about a year or 2 ago, as well as my current age and it's freaking me out. I've considered it may be a coincidence but it's obviously much more targeted, at least I'm seeing it that way. It wouldn't be anyone from my family trying to pull a prank on me with their hotspots or anything of the sorts as I'm currently home alone, and they couldn't possibly know the username I used to play the game. Additionally, my neighbors couldn't possibly know such a personal thing either.

My name on the game was 'Olives' and I was about 15-16 when I played it, and I never gave it my age. (I'm now 17 and still to this day I never enter my age online besides for in this post now. I typically set my date-of-birth to something like 1999 as well out of habit, and also because most things require you to be 18 or older. This applies for my Microsoft account I use on my PC.) Attached below is a screenshot I managed to take of it as it appeared;

Apologies if this isn't helpful, but this is what I saw and what startled me.

I'm currently connected to another connection point in my house so I'm running on a different IP address if that makes any difference. I also ran the following on cmd.exe to hopefully prevent it from popping up again:

netsh wlan add filter permission=block ssid="(name)" networktype=infrastructure

I'm not tech savvy at all. I'm running off what a website instructed me after searching 'how to block a wifi connection'.

This is my first time posting here and I'm very rattled. Does anyone know what might be going on? Should I be scared or am I overthinking it?

Thank you all for your help.

UPDATE!: It seems to have been resolved after running the command (as mentioned above) on cmd.exe as it is no longer appearing, and it hasn't given me any issues. Still curious what may have happened here, but everything seems fine.

Answer 1

It is just coincidence. Turning on Airplane Mode and then turning it back OFF just resets DNS. It does not affect your Wireless and that will just reconnect as it did. The SSIDs are what it sees and recent connections that you had connected to.

Nothing to worry about.

If you wish, you can remove unused wireless profiles to reduce the SSIDs you see. Remove all, then add the one wireless profile you need right now. Follow these steps.

1. Open cmd.exe with Run as Administrator.
2. Type in netsh wlan show profiles and press enter to see the list.
3. netsh wlan delete profile name="profile name"
4. Ensure the profile was deleted.
5. Do this for all profiles, OR, all but the one you are using.
6. Close out, restart your computer and test it.
