Always Getting Hack Attempts at Least Once a Week, Am I Being Targeted or Is This a Normal Thing Now?

List of my stuff that was tried to being hacked.

  • Hamachi
  • Minecraft account
  • Gaijin account
  • Ubisoft account

like have anyone dealt with these sht?, because of this all my other accounts now have 2 step verification.
I have a solid anti virus against keyloggers and stuff and I havent really logged in with Hamachi, Gaijin and Minecraft account for years now.

I would just get an email with login attempts from Russia, Bulgaria, China and USA.

    Check https://haveibeenpwned.com. Your details may have been compromised in some data leaks, and if you use the same password across multiple platforms it may explain why.

    • holy shit i have been pwned

      • Recently?

        • 2015-2016

        • @TheMoDz: If passwords were leaked in the breach and you use the same passwords over these platforms then yeah it could explain why you have random people around the world trying to access your account. I've recently started using lastpass and having unique passwords for everything since discovering I got pwned 3 times haha.

        • @currentfad: is lastpass good by being free or i have to spend?
          it seems that my shortest password got pwned but not my long ones

        • @TheMoDz:

          I have the free which is quite good…..NB wl generate a password for you & save in gibberish characters which should be damn good vis a vis security. The free is limited to so many passworded accounts (can't remember, you can go look LOL) but it must be pretty generous as I have a skad saved

          Watch out for both it & Sticky Password, also has a free ver I think (upgraded to pro on a special offer so can't remember now)to have upgrade specials.

          I consider at least one but preferably both as essential.

          Device sync across features very handy also.

          @TheMoDz:
          There's a topical thread currently running on Password Managers.
          https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/325315

          The majority (including me) use LastPass cause it works on anything and everything. I tried KeePass for about a week when LastPass got bought out by LogMeIn, but I didn't like it.

          I do pay for Premium (out of my Telstra Credit with Google Play Billing) cause I've been using LastPass since before you could get Mobile for free, but you can get by with the free version..
          Just set up 2 accounts (one for Desktop, one for Mobile) and share passwords between them.

      That's a cool site and it showed me that i shouldnt have used lastfm as I have been "pwned"

      • Haha, I don't even remember using lastfm

    First off go here and check if you Email address has been leaked through public Dumped databases.

    have a solid anti virus against keyloggers

    Now this is what people don't know about RATs, Keyloggers, etc — Even though you have a top-notch Anti-Virus, there is always ways for that Executable (RAT for an example) to become undetected through your Anti-Virus. When someone creates the Stub for that Executable they can 'Crypt' it so it completely goes undetected through your Anti-Virus.

    Would highly recommend downloading Malware Bytes trial, and giving it a full scan.

    Make sure you have 2-Step Authuntication enabled across all platforms, and change your passwords to something more complex if needed.

    • I got hacked by those leaks, but yea 2 step verification is the best security
