My Accounts have been hacked. Do not respond until I clearly confirm. My accounts are still hacked
Also check if your router is infected. It's a new trend to infect routers to gain a backdoor.
Don't use wifi too, use lan instead. Wifi can be snooped and cracked within minutes.
I use wifi only for my phones. My systems are on LAN only - the network is separated.
Even then it is good to use a encrypted vpn always so no one can gain by snooping your lan or wifi.
I am very paranoid after one of my domain was stolen long time ago.

my advice: your devices are the weak link. check for malware because even if you change your email etc the malware could still be there. also use whois privacy obviously the hacker knew your email was connected to the domain names.
immediately change your paypal password and email password on a different device. the hacker most likely checked to see if your email was still in use too so check your recent correspondences.
if possible protect your paypal immediately along with your credit card information and do not post updates on what you are doing. if the hacker is on this forum then he will be reading these posts. settle everything then post updates as to what you did AFTER everything
also create a separate email for business that is not connected to paypal etc. contact the major domain selling auction sites and let them know about the problem.
Thank you!Good that you got everything back under control.. All the best and Happy domaining..
Can you elaborate on this? What is the issue/vulnerability here, with Chrome/Browser extensions?as someone mentioned about thieves stealing login details with a Google Chrome/Browser extensions and that's scary!
Is this the same issue? Are you referring to password storage in your browser? This browser thing is a vulnerability I wasn't aware of.As of right now we are not 100% certain where it began. It could have been through browser malware of sorts from the looks of it. Only someone with access to my browser could have accessed the amount of information he did. Hence why I will never be storing anything in my browsers again.
Sorry to hear about you getting hacked bro. Hook me up with your xb gamertag and we'll get online.......when/if you have the timeTruth. Good thing the only thing "Windows" I have in my house is my Xbox
Yup, my email address was hacked first. Then I was shut out of everything else. They tried to sell my domain names. I have multiple security features, so all they are (hopefully) able to do is ruin my mood for a few hours. So far, no domains have been stolen but a lot of auctions were tampered with, all my accounts have been hacked and they are trying their pathetic little hearts out to steal my domains.
Glad you got everything sorted and the only loss was time and grief, Ali.
Just a heads up to anyone that thinks PMs are a cure-all....
Password managers can be cracked.
It isnt easy, but it can be done by someone with the access skills and enough inclination (think ROI).
Peace,
Cyberian

Are you a user? Were you affected by the DDos attacks a couple weeks ago?check out protonmail
If they can get malware on your computer, a password manager is useless: they can just log whatever password you enter to unlock your password manager, then upload the unencrypted data. A good password manager would need 2FA, and even then, there are caveats. Ultimately, without taking the time to learn about common traps and how to avoid being caught by them, any security measures you take are useless. You have to dedicate time to learn about what you're up against if you want to stay secure; there's no way around it. Relying on software to do all the work for you is foolish.
Common misconception: if you have anit-malware (anti-virus) software, you're safe. Today's malware can easily get past all of that. Also, malware developers often combine their malware with legitimate software, then threaten to sue anti-virus developers if they block the software. As a result, anti-virus companies deliberately avoid detecting all sorts of modern threats.
