Windows 10: 3 People-1 Hacker-How to Identify Who Did It

All,

My work allows me to work from home, but there are times I work from an office with 2 other people. Over the past 2 years, my Gmail account has been breached, my boss / friend has the same occur to his computer and phone. Also I have located software on an office computer that I periodically use which I've removed too. There may be additional settings on this computer that allows for another to "monitor" the activity too. I simply don't know what to look for, nor how to set it up in such a way that would prevent this from occurring.


I want to be clear, the office computer is NOT owned, not are policies in place that allows for anyone to intrude upon my personal privacy. My boss and I have seen one person in particular exhibit behavior that leads us both to believe this person is responsible for the issue I've described.


Here's my questions

How can I identify the person who's responsible for breaching my account 3 possibilities, but 1 in particular

Can I determine if the office computer is being monitored?

How can I set it to secure it permanently


OS-Windows 10

Browsers-Edge, Google, DuckDuckGo



Please let me know if you need additional information. Thanks everyone!

Thanks very much for that - as the hacker sent over 400 messages to my contacts - I guess there's a good chance of identifying them (but I suppose not if the use a VPN?)
