But if my pw manager is hacked then all my data is lost at once? 🤔
Maybe that’s a discussion for another threat. But if feel suspicious about pw managers (maybe that’s stupid)

Thank you for your suggestion! 😊
My emails (used 3 different ones) all seem okay. Resetted their pws after the 2nd hack (except one). But I scanned my PC with different AVs and found/removed two trojan files - maybe that’s it!
Wow, does a pw really need 16+ UTF-8 characters? 🥵
But all your tips are super valid!!! Thanks!
I got non-SMS 2FA turned on everywhere now, use three different emails and use no pw manager!
I’m really trying to not get paranoid 😅 Maybe I am under-reacting to the thread but because I’m getting sporadically hacked since 2-3 months now and the hackers mostly didn’t do anything I still feel secure over here. But let’s see what happens in the future!
Wow you did A LOT of stuff to defend yourself!!! 😗 Thank you for your story/input!
Because I don’t have weird popups or scam emails flooding my accounts but just sporadic hacks made by obvious bots I will wait until I reinstall Windows for now.
I have scanned my PC with as suggested by others with Malwarebytes, Hitman Pro and Bitdefender and found & removed two Gen:Variant.Jaik.197725 trojan files from a screen resolution fix for Cossacks - Back To War I installed a couple months ago 🥲 So maybe it was malware!
But if the hacks continue I will definetly use some of your suggestions!!!
Thank you for your suggestion!
I used three different email adresses for all the accounts but I also changed the pws of two of them as a precaution already. The last hacked acc was connected to the one adress where I didn’t change the pw. So I will change the pw of the last email acc too! 😊

I just read the malware guide and it doesn’t look like I have malware. My CPU is running normally, there are no pop ups, no weird programs, no browser redirections.
I do not use Chrome but Firefox as a browser if that’s relevant.
Especially the last sentence is something I’m doing now: logging out of every session at the end, cleaning cookies/cache - good tips! Thank you!!! 😊
