    What to do when you've been hacked?


    I can't login to my computer (Lenovo). Usually I use my PIN, but it's asking for my password, which I enter, yet it won't accept it. There were signs along the way: unusual Spam (yahoo email), friend informed me of receiving unsolicited emails and computer issues I contributed to other things. Suggestions, please.


    For what it's worth, I ran a scan with Microsoft which came out fine.


    Many thanks,

    Elda

  3. I've been hacked...

    Considering Teamviewer got badly hacked in June last year I wouldn't have that anywhere near my PCs (especially as the company initially denied any problems, then later admitted that something didn't seem right with how many accounts were compromised). The fact it has reappeared is a bad sign - get rid of it again, and restart the laptop a few times to see if it gets installed again (as already suggested there could be a script running that's installing it).

    If you have system restore running it may have a restore point when teamviewer was installed, or list that an old restore point would remove teamviewer - that would at least give you an indication on when it was installed. If the machine has been compromised though I'd personally take only the most important files off and wipe the whole thing, going in fresh with a new OS install. Also make sure you scan the files you want to keep from it to make sure there's nothing nefarious hiding amongst them.

    77000 Steam accounts hacked every month

    Ironically I've had the same crappy password since I made my Steam when HL2 came out and never been hacked, but I've had my Origin account jacked twice with a much more complicated password. 2 step on Origin fixed this problem, but just thought it was kind of funny. I went with 2 step on Steam to be safe too.
