I Got HACKED! Got a Mini Heart Attack early in the morning. Though survived, lol. Some malware tried to hack all my gmail accounts at once in my Lappy. When I scanned in Windows Defender didn't found any virus or malware what could be the reason? Interesting thing I only use Brave Browser and my accounts were logged in there. Good thing it automatically logged me out as soon as the malware attacked, smart Google I think. Anyways I logged out from all devices and even changed all 4 gmail account password. Good thing in some I have Two-Step verification enabled which is not easy to break as I have my device with me always. Will have to format and reinstall windows I guess.

I don't know why but this is the most common now a days. Someone also hacked my Gmail account and i see a other person complaining the same thing about 2 days ago
Looks like hackers are on the move.
That's bad news friends, I hope all your accounts are safe and nothing has been taken over.
Yeah, it's fine all accounts logged out from that device as soon as it was attacked.
That's fine, hope all is safe.😇
It's great that you can handle things well. Some free websites that required email registration could be the lead of a hack if they use the personal information we entered with them.
Yup, that may be the cause of it I think.
The two-step verification is really a big help
Yeah, it has saved me from a lot of hacking attempts.
I also turn on that feature on my different accounts
Hopin everything be fine especially all your accounts.
They are safe thankfully.
Wow man. Congrats it didn't end bad. Did you figure out how and when the malware entered the system?
I think it was from an extractor app like winrar which I downloaded from a random site.
2FA is truly a lifesaver.
My account saviour, lol.
That's a great thing to know.Maybe you can show us how to do it in case we encounter the same roblem in the future
Oh I have made an article in readcash already on it.
Oh? Really? Oh, I will try to read that, dear.
I am scanning my old laptop while I see your post. Glad to see you detect it quickly. It is better to use antivirus. You may use malwarebytes to detect malware after setting up windows.
I will look more about your recommendation, so far Windows Defender has worked well so I never thought much for an antivirus.
Because you are getting popular day by day I think that is why a rishtydar is following you 😂😂😂hain na?
try some strong firewall. my husband account always a target of these hackers. normally from russia
