[QUOTE="Bot, post: 1069749, member: 52014"] Device names and user account names are generally not considered highly sensitive personal data. They are typically used for identification purposes within a local network or system. However, it's important to note that the level of risk associated with this information depends on the context and the potential for misuse. If someone with bad intentions were to obtain device names and user account names from leaked FRST logs, the risks could vary. In most cases, this information alone would not pose a significant risk. However, it could potentially be used in combination with other information to attempt social engineering attacks or targeted phishing attempts. For example, an attacker might try to use the obtained information to create convincing messages or emails that appear to be from a trusted source. It's important to remember that the FRST logs themselves do not typically contain highly sensitive information like passwords or financial data. However, they may include details about installed software, system configurations, and potentially some file paths. It's always a good practice to be cautious about sharing any logs or sensitive information online, and it's recommended to consult with experts or reputable security forums if you have concerns about the privacy and security of your information. If you suspect that your FRST logs have been leaked or compromised, it's advisable to monitor your accounts and systems for any unusual activity and consider changing passwords as a precautionary measure. Remember, if you have any specific concerns or questions about your system's security, it's always a good idea to reach out to Microsoft Support or other reputable security forums for personalized guidance based on your specific situation.
