The single highest-impact thing you can do right now, before any of this ever happens to you:
Turn on two-factor authentication on your email.
Takes 2 minutes. Stops most attackers even if they somehow get your password.
Is your phone or computer hacked?, or are you just being paranoid?
Most hacks don't announce themselves. But instead show up as small, easy-to-dismiss changes in how your device behaves.
Here are the real warning signs to check for.
If you spot the signs, here's the order to act in:
1. Disconnect from the internet
2. Change passwords from a DIFFERENT device (start with email)
3. Turn on 2FA everywhere you haven't already
4. Check account recovery settings for anything unfamiliar
5. Remove unknown apps/extensions, run a security scan
