How to get rid of hackers
I received a computer from a family member a few years ago when I was younger. I used it for a short time. At the beginning, I had no knowledge of computers. However, some time later, others began accessing my accounts. When I examined my machine, I discovered malware installed on it—its origin unclear, possibly pre-installed since it was built. They monitored my PC extensively, gathering a lot of personal information. Even after cleaning, they continued attempting to breach me using data they already had. Advice on preventing future attacks and stopping them from reattacking once more.
End all your email and phone services immediately. Clear every trace from your devices then set up fresh accounts with another provider and a different number. Sign up for new email addresses as well. Notify your bank about the need to update your account due to identity theft risks. Get fresh debit or credit cards with new contact details. For your home computers, remove all existing hard drives and SSDs, replacing them with new ones without transferring data from old ones. Reach out to your ISP to request a new IP address or switch providers. When creating new accounts, use completely different passwords. Report the situation to your local police and file an identity theft case. Even without knowing the perpetrators, this documentation proves you’ve taken action. It’s better to prevent than to fix later. Good luck!
