Put your HF in a house or remove your HS while you don't need it.

What client?

And there might always attempts to get other peoples HS, be it by just guessing, trying or brute forcing...

Had the same couple weeks ago, they spammed our mine with alts, but we could kill em all and clean our mines again. Name was some generated number-code, and hs wasnt that unsecure, so i guess its bruteforcing.

Checked your sig, damn. Many people got targetted.
Lucky that I use this account only to spawn fresh alts I have no intention to use and make stronger (such as testing swimming, teleporting around and robbing unclaimed settlements, etc.)

A couple times ive typed a wrong hs into a kinlist when trying to add someone that was very generic... and added someone else entirely. I believe one time it was someone named gatekeeper or something... hearth secretswas like abc1234 or some instead of abc12345

Now I never tried to spawn any alts at them but if they were outside then I could have obviously.

When I was bored I used to just type random common words into the kin list and see if it would add anybody. You'd be surprised by how many people have crazy simple HS's like "dragon" or "tim".
