Hi Redditors,
Recently, I have been involved in a leak, but I have no idea how it happened.
A few days ago, I received a login prompt to my Microsoft Authenticator and rejected it. Then, they started popping up one by one for other platforms. Most of them had 2FA, so I immediately changed the passwords. Today, I received a notification from Google Password Manager stating that 80% of my passwords were leaked and immediate action was required. Then, I changed all of them to new ones.
But my question is: I have no idea how this happened and should I be worried?
1- I have not used a PC for one year; I only use a mobile phone (non-rooted, official firmware). 2- Even some of the leaked accounts were created/signed in last few months, during which I only used a mobile phone. 3- My brother, in another country, has been experiencing the same thing since the same date. 4- More than a year ago, we were using the same desktop PC. I am 100% sure I logged out of everything a year ago. If this caused the leak, how is it possible they accessed my recently created accounts (as stated in 2)? 5- In my Google account, only one session is active.
I would really appreciate your help in finding the cause of this leak and fixing it.
Do they constantly monitor the dark web and cross reference all of my passwords?
