Compromised Accounts

[Bluey_Zarsoff]

Be careful with these new sites.
It could be just a coincidence but I sighed up to a couple of these newly advertised warez sites on this forum & I have been hacked big time.
First time this has ever happened. I was hit from two Russian spikes, one Ukraine & one Canadian simultaneously so Microsoft reckon.
Within hours of checking out some of these new sites the Pricks got into my email accounts (two), my Microsoft account, my Steam account, my Sony & my Playstation accounts & who knows what else.
They completely took out my PS5 account . This was my own stupidity for not setting up two tier verification. They also gifted themselves $$$$$ from my Steam account wallet (which I got back) . All of these doorways have now been closed.

That's why you always use throwaway email and a vpn when you register. I'm assuming you're not daft enough to reuse passwords.
Did you check your system for keyloggers or perhaps a trojan ?

1. You can check for compromised passwords in your browser, you should be checking at least monthly & it will tell you what domain was compromised.
2. It looks like you used the same email&password for many accounts & ones containing your debit card, this is so 1990, educate yourself.
2.1. If you didn't use the same password for multiple sites you have malware on your PC, educate yourself.
3. Warez site have warnings and guides on keeping yourself safe on the internet you need good AV protection

Never ever ever use the same passwords.

I haven't been here in months but luckily my logs are still saved with the new domain so i knew i was at the right place, didnt have to look for a new URL or whatever, but yeah at least two factors identification saves your ass if you mess up
