Hi everyone,

I’ve implemented strong security measures like 2FA, password managers, and even security keys to protect my accounts. Despite all this, I’ve still experienced hacking incidents that don’t seem to fit common explanations like session hijacking or phishing.

I’m trying to understand what advanced attack vectors or vulnerabilities might be at play here, and what steps I can take beyond the usual advice to secure myself better.

Has anyone faced similar issues or can share insights on deeper cybersecurity operations, attack methods, or advanced defenses? What should be the next steps when standard protections fail?

Thanks in advance for your expertise!

        Wipe and reload the OS.

        Depending on the level of paranoia, get a new computer or a different manufacturer. Patch the device on a public network before bringing it home.

          This. Virus scans only get you so far, and only detect well-known stuff. Format your drive(s), start over with a fresh install. Be careful about importing backups and usb sticks and the like, of course it is unavoidable if you want to keep your digital life, but it could be infected. If you are friends with some CS / IT security nerds, ask them for help in exchange for $consumables :)
