System has been breached!
My computer runs a 6600k processor. I believe I was among the fortunate ones who encountered these issues early on. About two months ago, someone began attempting access to all my online accounts, making things very difficult. My eBay, Steam, and other services were affected. Windows didn’t show any infection signs, so I performed a hard wipe of both drives three days ago and reinstalled Windows after a virus scan. It reported a Trojan, but it’s using my GPU because it’s under heavy use even though all programs say otherwise. The drives are now on the PC, which makes me nervous about putting them on my only working machine. Tonight someone tried to access my Twitter account. I’m in need of urgent help—I don’t feel safe with any electronics anymore. Everything seems unsafe! What should I do?
Enable two-factor authentication and update all passwords. Consider creating a secure key pass database—keep the file on a small USB drive, connect it only when necessary, and delete it immediately afterward. For added protection, install Kaspersky free antivirus and keep it active while browsing and downloading online.
I’ve already updated most of the passwords except a few that he’s trying to recover. I might attempt using the USB drive, but it feels like a big effort. I’m fairly certain the storage devices are damaged—I’ve reset them multiple times without success, and it’s taken hours. Right now my friend is checking them on another machine so he can help fix the issue. My concern about the GPU is that if I boot in safe mode, the performance doesn’t drop immediately when Windows loads. This hasn’t happened before and feels unusual.
