First of all: I'm technically not very talented and probably belong to the inexperienced Internet users, so please do not stone me for my question!
I was "hacked" 2 months ago. There was a third party access to my paypal account, my Amazon account and Netflix. The money I have now been reimbursed by Paypal and also the account was closed for now, so nothing could happen. On Amazon, I have changed my email address and my password - since then, nothing has happened.
The accounts were all linked to the same email address. On Gmail, however, there was apparently never a third party access.
Understandably, I'm now relatively paranoid. My question is now: Since I now use a new email address for the Amazon account, which emanates from my Macbook and I have ever sent an email to my old email address, the "hacker" now also allows access to my new Email account / my new Macbook / my Amazon account? So maybe there were some links or something… No idea!
I would also like to know if someone is logged out of my Amazon account when I created a new mail address + password.
I hope someone can provide answers despite the confusion! Haha
Stay calm,
To be sure, you need a few security tools like antivirus, adblocker, anti hacking tool, cleaner and much more.
Also, never mindfully save the user data in the browser.
In the meantime, I have changed my laptop. From Windows to MacOS.
Now eig. Nix should happen anymore
Please no anti-virus program. Just brain.exe, noscript, ublockorigin and maybe Vtzilla, no "anti hacking tool" or "cleaner" needed.
No idea with the security on mac looks like but win10 defender is always enough together with the above.
Really, whenever I had no antivirus program on the PC, then I was always asked to install it.
I would maybe change the WLAN password if there was no access to Gmail 😎 It's just an idea 😏
Yes, I've been fingering my fingers for quite a few days because so many people are convinced that an antivirus program is a MUST. In fact, it actually represents a security gap. In addition, it costs a lot of power and makes other problems gladly.
Go to the end position security and activate the two-stage verification via SMS. And that on ebay Facebook PayPal Amazon.
Maybe because these programs are not mature, are these the problems?
Idiocy
Yes, because there are always bugs in these programs (as in any other program too). The problem with anti-virus programs is that they have administrator rights. In addition, the user feels safe with an anti-virus program and demensprechend even brain.exe partially completely off. If you want to know more:
With pleasure;)
In general, the channel is highly recommended for such things.
You can disable that, then you will not be annoyed anymore. For years, do not use a guard (it just annoyed everyone), just scan as needed (for example, executable downloads, mail attachments).
Of course, it would be important to know how it came to the leak.
In all paranoid security settings, it is usually the user himself who uses too simple logins (perhaps repeated), and / or voluntarily gives away the data about compromised pages. Nothing gets chopped up. There's no change in the operating system, the browser, the protection programs / scripts, … Also, no 2-factor verification if the code is also given away.
For critical sites (such as banking, or where payment details are deposited that you can use right away to shop), it is of course still on. The safest way the mailbox must be protected (extra long password, does not have to be complicated, only long… I recommend a sentence you can remember if the provider allows something long with spaces), because someone has access to it, then you can on the Forgot password feature often gain access to all possible sites. Then there would also help 2 factor or security issues.
As already said, it basically only helps one's own brain.
