[QUOTE="Shadowra, post: 1075258, member: 92939"] Before changing your passwords, make sure your computer is not infected by malware (Trojan, Backdoor, Botnet, RAT, Keyloggers, Stealers etc). In fact, even if you change your passwords, if you're infected, so is the cyber-criminal. I'd advise you to run several tools, such as KVRT, NPE, Eset OnlineScan and Malwarebytes. Only run complete scans. Then, once the malware has been removed (if you have one or more), refresh your browsers. Some (like ZBot/ZeuS and others) inject the browser to stay persistent and capture your information. Then, change ALL your passwords to ones that are difficult to crack (letters, uppercase, lowercase, special characters, numbers, etc.). I recommend a password of between 10 and 20 characters. And finally, activate 2FA with SMS/App authentication. [/QUOTE]
