Just my typical habit when i do browse and make use of my PC.Im fully aware on how phishing and malware works so i would definitely say that i wont be easily victimized with that.
This is also a question on my mind on how in the world someone knows my 16 digit alphanumeric password.?
There are so many ways a hacker can get your password so you have to do a background check to a certain what when wrong.
It could be through
- Use of same login details on different websites, this includes logging in unsecured websites with the same login details, so they easily get leaked to possible hackers
- Infected browser/malicious web extensions
- Malicious software in your PC
Just make sure you use your original email to message the team, a staked address is desirable but you can still get your account recovered without it if the team find enough evidence such as change of IP logs after hack.
I'm not using the same passwords on any site and with this forum account.Im very keen about security matters. Phishing?Im aware with that.Virus? I have Eset Nod32 Premium.
I'm also aware on malicious web extensions that's why I'm confused on where did i go wrong and got still hacked.
