[QUOTE="vaultedlogic, post: 1123460, member: 122066"] Hey everyone I made a previous post asking how 40+ of my passwords were found in data breach and asking if this is a data breach thing or malware on my device. A user recommend I use the website hudsonrock and my results were: [HEADING=1]26[/HEADING] [HEADING=2]Compromised Personal Services[/HEADING] This email address is associated with a computer that was infected by an info-stealer, all the credentials saved on this computer are at risk of being accessed by cybercriminals. [LIST] [*][B]Cookies[/B] [*][B]Credentials[/B] [*][B]IP[/B] [*][B]Malware Path[/B] [*][B]Operating System[/B] [*][B]Date[/B] [*][B]Computer Name[/B] [*][B]Installed Anti-Viruses[/B] [/LIST] I have some questions: 1- Can i conclude this was a malware thing not a data breach thing because haveibeenpwned suggests i was pwned in 4 data breaches so i'm not sure what to conclude. 2- Could this kind of malware access a webcam or a mic, or is it usually limited to stealing login credentials, cookies, and browser data? 3- Is there anything I should be worried about regarding this situation like blackmailing or ideneity theft etc? 4- Any general advice on blindspots I have regarding the situation?
