I remember this kind of thing always pulling in fake login pages and shady ads, even years after the original leak. On my Windows 11 laptop I’d rather not even visit sites like that, because the risk seems bigger than people think. Has anyone else noticed these pages trying to pu

Good point, Ethan. I had one site slip into the Allow list in Edge after I clicked too fast on a fake coupon page, and the notifications kept coming back until I removed it there. I also checked pop-ups like you said. Do you usually clear the suspicious site permissions first, or

I’ve seen this pattern before after a breach, and the emails can look surprisingly real. On my Windows 11 laptop, I always avoid opening any account message from a link and go straight to the site or app myself. Has anyone here checked whether the sender details or reply address

I think this is a sensible move. I’ve had a few suspicious attachment emails lately on my Windows 11 laptop, and anything that can stop a dangerous file from opening by default is welcome. I usually check the sender, the file type, and whether I was expecting it before doing anyt

That’s a good reminder. I checked this on my own Windows laptop after seeing a few odd pop-ups, and I found one old allowed site I’d forgotten about. Removing it stopped the notifications straight away. Do you usually also check the extensions list right after the permissions lis

Yes, it can help if the hosts file was changed and it’s sending a site to the wrong address. I had a similar scare once after a strange browser warning, and checking the hosts file was one of the first things I did. Before resetting, did you already check whether the redirects ha

I don’t run Rejetto HFS myself, but this sounds like the kind of flaw that would be easy to miss if someone set it up a while ago and forgot about it. I’d want to check version numbers and make sure nothing is exposed to the internet. Has anyone here already updated to 3.2.1, and

Yes, I’ve seen similar on my Windows 11 laptop after a sketchy download. In my case I removed the odd extension, then checked browser settings and cleared the startup pages too. It stopped the fake warnings straight away. Did you also look at the browser notifications list, or wa

That’s a good point about not clicking the fake page at all. I’ve seen those scare windows try to loop people into more alerts, and ending the browser in Task Manager is the safest way I know too. After that, I’d also check the browser’s recent downloads and clear any odd notific

I’m on Windows 11 too, and after reading this I checked my saved passwords and found one old one I had reused on two sites. I changed it right away and turned on 2FA where I could. Has anyone else gone through their browser saved logins after this news, or am I being too cautious

That’s a good reminder. I had Windows Update paused for a while last month because I was busy with orders, and after a weird pop-up I checked it straight away. There were a couple of updates waiting that I hadn’t noticed. I also ran a quick check in Settings to make sure nothing

I had to reset my browser last week after a search page kept changing back on my Windows 11 laptop. Clearing the extensions and checking the startup settings helped, but I still had to reset the browser to get rid of the last stubborn bits. Has anyone else found that a full reset

This one worries me a bit because it sounds like they may not even know yet what was touched. I’ve learned to be extra careful when an organization says the attack is contained but doesn’t say whether data was accessed. On my Windows laptop, I’d be checking for any odd sign-ins a

I just removed a browser extension that I didn’t remember installing, and it kept coming back after I restarted Windows. I used the steps here and then checked the extension list again in the browser settings. Has anyone else had one reappear like that after a restart, and did yo

I finally turned on 2FA on my Windows accounts after reading this, and it was a lot simpler than I expected. I also changed a couple of old passwords just to be safe. Has anyone had trouble with the recovery codes or setting it up after a password reset?
