Wasnt sure where to put this folks, hope this is ok over here.
So recently Ive been on the receiving end of a massive hack attack including my main email address.
I have managed to recover it and check if anything malicious has been done so far I cant see anything.
What is scary is how they managed to hack my VM email address and also get my security question right and change it when they hacked it.
As I said Ive managed to get it back once more... but it begs the question and would welcome thoughts?
(First thing that comes to mind is trojans, phishing software etc, but malware malbytes says Im clean.
Banks/other accounts etc have been checked, all ok so far.
However one thing that I seem to be on the receiving end of, is Battle.net attacks.
I have setup 2FA already and ticked every security option available (SMS etc).
Despite this, I have just received notification of: Verification code sent to my email address as a request from a "forgot my password".
And following that a confirmation that my password has been changed on my account....
I do have 2FA on this account now so no further progress would have been made, but how the hell are the able to get through the verification code?
I have checked my email address for any forwarding addresses, again all clean.
Sorry if this is textbook hacking 101 to some of you (this is the first time Ive experienced this and Im not the most IT minded individual, appreciate any insights).
Thank you folks.
