    Security breach after setting up new computer


    I set up a brand new Dell Laptop with Windows 11 last night. 3 hours later, there were 4 cases/locations of successful log-ins attempted hacks reported in my MSN sign-in activity. Any thoughts on why this may have happened and is there a security problem at Microsoft. I think that signing in and changing my sign in from pin to password on the new laptop caused this breach?

  3. Security Breach / Hacking Windows 10

    I keep getting a phone call every time I get on my computer that says I have a security breach and something about I need to call a 855 number and when I do I am told that I will have to pay money to them to remove the breach... This smells like a scam
    to me.
