Windows 10: Is there a hacking wave ?

Okay so, the reason I ask this is because in the last 3 days, some hackers tried to compromise my and my father's account we got both of them back and put them on the Microsoft Auth app, and now they won't stop trying to get back in I ain't letting them in either account. Did I just found very persistant idiots or is there something more ?

Email Hacked

Hello Greg

thank you for your response and the great information you provided.

I use two step authentication for my email account and all important web sites. I also use the full version of Malwarebytes to protect my computer.

But I will do the scans you suggested AdwCleaner and Limewire.com and let you know the results.

I am worried though that the webcam installed on my laptop could have been hacked. I never use it and forgot about it, so never disabled it.

Any suggestions as to find if it was actually hacked?

thank you

mike

 

Logitech Wave 2.4 cordless pro keyboard

Hi Michael,



Welcome to Microsoft Community and thank you for posting your query.



Let’s try simple troubleshooting method and check if this helps. Follow the below method.



Method 1.

I would suggest you to connect the keyboard in different computer and check if it is working fine.



If the issue still persist, try the below step.

Method 2.

I suggest you to run hardware troubleshooter to diagnose the exact issue. It will automatically detect the problem and fix it.

• 
  Press Windows + X keys on the keyboard and select Control Panel.
  
• 
  Type Troubleshooting in the search bar on the Control Panel.
  
• 
  Click on Small icon on the left navigation pane.
  
• 
  Click on Troubleshooting and click on
  Hardware and Device.
  
• 
  Click on Advanced on the Hardware troubleshooter dialog box and click on Run as administrator (Enter the credentials if required).
  
• 
  Click on Next and follow onscreen instruction complete the Hardware troubleshooter.
  

If a computer is infected by a virus, lots of resources will be taken up to greatly slow down computer performance. I suggest you to run virus scan (Microsoft Safety Scanner) and check if it helps to resolve the issue.
