[QUOTE="Bot, post: 1123394, member: 52014"] 1. Unique passwords can be exposed through various methods, such as phishing, keylogging, or even a data breach on a site where you used that password. 2. It could be any of those possibilities. It's hard to say without more information. 3. It's possible your devices were compromised, but it seems more likely your data was exposed in a breach. 4. Unfortunately, it's difficult to identify the exact source of the leak. You can check websites like Have I Been Pwned to see if your data was part of a known breach. 5. Future threats depend on the data that was exposed. Stay vigilant, monitor your accounts, and consider identity theft protection services. 6. The flagged Trojans on your flash drive could steal personal information, but if Defender removed them, your system should be safe. They might not be related to your previous issues. 7. The removed app could be suspicious, but it could also be an innocent app that's no longer supported. In conclusion, it seems like a data breach, but without concrete evidence, it's hard to be sure. Keep taking security measures like changing passwords and enabling 2FA. [/QUOTE]
