Runescape taught me how to buy and sell for profit at a young age.

I use both. PC desktop, Mac laptop that will probably be replaced with a surface something, if not a chromebook.You on a MAC or PC?
That's quite unfortunate.
But I can already tell you did not treat your computer well. You had tons of random software, most of which, you probably got tricked into downloading, and then you never took the effort to clean your computer. I can slightly empathize, as most decent malware will resist being deleted. But every instance in my life where I was sure I had some illicit software installed on my computer, I went to the ends of the Earth to remove it. Regardless of the initial difficulties designed to prevent such actions. I must have been 12 when I learned about booting into Safe Mode in order to Add/Remove Programs. On Mac, you need to identify which applications are malicious and then
Of course, hindsight is 20/20, and I'm sure you beat yourself up more than anyone else would. 1200, all in all, is a pretty inexpensive lesson. Treat your computer like a third arm. There should be no blotches. You should recognize a malign tumour instantly.
The second (I won't tell all the steps and all the details due to harm it can cause) one involved quite a decent personal research, social engineering a 3d person, hacking his *won't mention software name* account and just completely clearing me out.
Sort of, although a brute forcer can narrow a password down to words in the dictionary.
Length = strength, but there's more to strength than length. A password should make the job of a brute forcer as hard as possible. So if you, for some reason, need to memorize a password (maybe it's a master password), you could use a phrase of 4 or more words that are rarely used together and segment each with some additional characters, while also including some capital letters. This increases the character set that a brute forcer needs to use.
So correcthorsebatterystaple becomes Correct2!horse2#battery8%staple (2/28 being the birthday, month and day of someone you know, the other characters being random), bringing the total character count to 36 and more than doubling the amount of characters a brute forcer needs to try.
Even so, there's more to security than a password as passwords can be acquired through other means. Ideally, people shouldn't be able to access your accounts even if they know your password.
I have been thinking about using Lastpass.
My doubt - Is it safe to save password in lastpass? Whats your experience with them?
I am a little worried that Lastpass authorities can one day use all passwords they have and become trillionaires lol
Jay, one small advice that helped me personally:
Get yourself a brand new phone and brand new laptop for all activities where money involved.
Trust me, it's worth it.
I know people who got their accounts, with 2-step-authentification (!!!), hacked with help of GSM operators, so take care.
This is actually solid advice.Jay, one small advice that helped me personally:

If you feel very strongly about your online security to the point that you could lose a lot of your money and possibly other peoples money, then you might want to consider hiring an ex or current hacker to attack you. If you have a vulnerability, they'll find it and tell you how to fix it.Sounds like you were targeted.
Social engineering is how several famous Youtubers (who earn 5-6 figures monthly) got hacked.
Nothing will stop a particularly motivated hacker unless you have the protection of a sovereign government. And even then, it's not enough!
Several people here, some of which have a LOT to lose... have given out enough personal information in order for someone to carry out successful social engineering.
And once your business gets to a size where a hack could effect others... you need to get insurance.
I know that I'm sounding like a paranoid Penny here, but the truth is that many, MANY people have lost many times more than I have. You NEED to protect yourself.
Prevention is the best medicine: those are your habits. If you are careful enough, you are extremely unlikely to be a victim. How do you browse? What do you download? What websites do you use? Is your phone number available for all to know? Are your passwords strong and unique for every single service you use? Do you often use unsecured networks to log on while travelling, without using a VPN?
Protection is your next best thing. Anti-virus, firewalls, VPNs, 2-factor authentication, encrypted traffic, key scramblers, security notifications, and more.
All in all, keep a low profile. Treat the Internet like the ghetto. Don't look rich, don't incite fights, and don't do illegal shit. If no one knows who you are, you won't be specifically targeted. In my case, I got had because I had trusted a file that I should not have.
Try not to worry about it too much, though.
Get two accounts here: https://protonmail.comDo you guys think its dumb to have ONE solo email connected to all finance accounts? Or should I have individual emails for each separate account?
-My thought was, as long as I don't use it for anything else it should be fine....

Did Paypal get 2 step authentication?
ut this tech safety shiz is the real deal.
Weird to say but windows seems more secure right now, they're doing a lot of things right.
Sounds like you were targeted.
After reading about it here, I looked for it and couldn't find it either.
Yup, and a huge market with tons of opportunity.
@eliquid why 3 passwords?
I love the concept. I'll give it a go. Maybe I can use it for some of my clients.
You know what's funny now that you mention it? My clients have such shit security. Their passwords are almost always the same for everything, and they're so bad. I don't wanna school them on security but I feel like I should.
Did I mention PIA because its what I use: Anonymous VPN Service From The Leaders | Private Internet Access
Microsoft Defender is prob the best Antivirus if your using Win 10.
I also use Keepass (its encrypted) password database.
This has been shown to be ineffective.
If you want to use Linux, I recommend Kali Linux (its pretty secure)
Kali Linux | Penetration Testing and Ethical Hacking Linux Distribution
Penetration testers (aka ethical hackers) keep their versions very secure. Its also updated all the time. But any version of Linux will do. Preferably non-Ubuntu (if you dont trust Corporations).
Went through this thread so many times. Instead of taking any preventive measures, I bashed it off:
"Nah. It won't be me".
"BS. I'm a power user."
"Screw all this victims."
Now, I have to start my 2k Likes Facebook Page from scratch.
