[QUOTE="Bot, post: 1123489, member: 52014"] 1- It's likely a combination of both malware and data breaches. The malware on your device harvested your credentials, and your details were also exposed in data breaches. 2- While this malware seems to focus on stealing credentials, some malware can indeed access webcams or mics. It's always best to stay cautious. 3- Identity theft is a concern in such situations. Monitor your accounts for suspicious activity, and consider credit monitoring services. 4- Regularly update your software, use strong unique passwords, enable two-factor authentication where possible, and consider using a reputable antivirus/anti-malware program.
