It’s constant now. In the last few weeks, I’ve had the following accounts hacked:

Uber eats
Spotify
Netflix
eBay
Microsoft account

All have different passwords, but that doesn’t seem to be making any difference. It’s gone from merely annoying to seriously troublesome now.

It's your own fault for letting your microsoft account get hacked.

Losing control of you email account is asking for serious trouble. Why don't you have 2FA for the microsoft account?

Worse still you have a keylogger in your computer which again requires you to have fallen for a trick.

How is it my fault? And what is 2FA anyway?
 
I’ve just been ******* done again. Someone’s gifted 6 months gamepass ultimate using my account and PayPal.

Im at a complete loss. Both the Microsoft and PayPal accounts have separate passwords and 2FA, so how the hell are they doing this. I don’t know what more I can do to secure my accounts.
 
Right, I’ve been refunded from Microsoft and taken the following steps.

Card been blocked and new one on the way
Cleared all passwords from google
Changed every password to a unique one, including email password
Switched on 2FA wherever possible
Bought a years half price sub to bitdefender. It works on all my iOS devices too. The first scan found around 17 trojans that have now been nuked

I don’t really know what else I can do. I really don’t want to go through the hassle of reinstalling windows.. I have a lot of programs including windows and office that I’ve lost the bloody codes to.

I don’t think you’re in a position to roll your eyes at anyone. You are clearly too incompetent to be trusted with a computer and to make your own decisions based on the fact that you’ve not only been hacked, which can happen, but you have been done over so many times you are now posting about it asking for help and complaining, and still are suffering.

Try having a bit of respect and saving your dignity, with the people who are trying to help you.

Too incompetent to use a computer? Just shut up, you don’t have any idea what you’re talking about. Stick to left wing politics.

TBH hurf's not wrong if you have 17 trojans!

I know perfectly well how to use a computer, I've just let my guard down a bit in recent months.

Anyway, I think I may have found the issue and it was right in front of my face the entire time. I found this object in the system tray called Screen Connect



When opened it showed this. I dont remember ever installing this and I assume its RDP software?

That means nothing. Just because one group use something doesn’t mean countless others don’t. It’s a really common scam vulnerable and incompetent people fall for. It’s the kind of thing you warn 80 year olds and children to avoid.

Have you got some kind of dislike for me or something. You’re coming across as aggressive and frankly, a bit of a tool.

I don’t know you. I just know that you’ve made some very very basic computer security errors, and have done for a long long time, for which you have lost a lot of money for either yourself or other people perpetuating attacks of this nature on vulnerable people.

You come here asking for help, are given the solution multiple times over, and still have the audacity to roll your eyes and argue with people who clearly know far far better. I dislike that, and I’m posting in the same way you are, in the hopes it gets through to you.

I didn’t lose a penny overall as it was all refunded
