Thank you for your reply, @itman , I didn't call, because I'm just studying in this country for 3 months, I do not know the language, almost nobody speaks here in English, and that taxi service just works through app (not saying that it's impossible to call, but they were tourists as well). Normally I wouldn't even stop when they asked me, but I just wasn't thinking rationally after day I had. Trust me, he (older man) wouldn't run away for me with my phone.. I mean, he could try even with his 3 older friends, but the chances.. and also the street was not crowded, not empty, people here would quickly see what is going on and stop him, but he had suit and everything, he just wouldn't run with his friends with my mobile, that would be very unlikely. Your advice about password and name.. you think that he would connect to my hotspot again ? I never create hotspots, that was my first time doing it, I have it even blocked through data saver and that's why I'm asking for help here, because I don't know anything about it. And even if the password and ID remain unchanged (they don't), it's a city with population of 18 milion people, I doubt that I will ever meet him again so I hope that won't be the problem. I'm just curious about things he could and maybe did to my phone by that 1 minute of connection, with my phone safe in my hands. Thanks for answer, @TomFace. The password is complicated enough I think, and my hotspot will be off for another couple of years (I didn't use it with any of my phones,.. never). What do you mean that I'm already screwed ? So far nothing happend, signs of my mobile being hacked are not there, for example battery waste, data usage, unknown applications.. I checked my phone with Eset and origina built in antivirus and there was also no problem so far. Can you please give me advice what else should I check ? I really want to be sure. Thank you for response, @Marcos. That's probably the most calming response I could possibly get and I hope that it's like you said. When I was giving him my internet, that's what was running in my head (I heard risks about connecting to unknown Wifi, etc.), but then I realized that I don't have enough knowledge about this topic and maybe some similar scams happend and I just don't know about it. That's why I asked experts here. Hopefully it will be like you said, you definitely know more than I do about this. and if that's what you think, I feel better now.

Hello to whoever is reading this, I did a mistake, I don't know what I was thinking and usually I wouldn't do it. Random, older guy with his friends on usual place to call taxi stopped me, if he can use my internet to call taxi, because it's so much cheaper and he doesn't have internet connection because he is a tourist. I first didn't want to because I just don't usually risk things like that but he even said that he can give me money so I said it's ok, just do it fast and I let him connect to my new created hotspot, gave him name and password. I was looking all the time at what was he doing, he just called taxi through normal taxi application that I know as well.. but when he was writing down the password, he was mumbling it so maybe some of his friends could connect as well, and I didn't notice it. After that I turned off the hotspot, changed password, restarted phone.. even if it was probably useless. He had new Samsung galaxy S10 and full mobile of applications (like hundreds of them), so he probably knew how to use phone even though he was older. My question is, is there some harm that he could do within that one minute of connection ? If not him, then somebody else.. just hypothetically, everything within that one minute. Thank you for answers, I hope you are having a nice day.
