I'm in a tough spot after my computer was hacked around April 22nd, and I think my ID has been stolen. I'm in the US, and I've been using NordVPN on all my devices, including my family's. My cryptocurrency accounts—like Coinbase, Uphold, Trust Wallet, and Crypto.com—have been compromised, but they are assisting me right now. I noticed some odd Firefox private browsers running, and other computers in my house requested a verification code to log into Windows, which is concerning.
I have frozen my credit cards, and my bank account is on alert, but I caught this early before anything major happened. I'll keep updating with any new info I find. I'm really desperate for help here!

Make sure to keep a close watch on your accounts and report suspicious activities right away. And remember, resetting your computer won’t fix identity theft or issues with stolen accounts. Stay vigilant!
A VPN is helpful for privacy but won’t stop a hack. Have you noticed any specific issues beyond the restore points you mentioned? It could be more than just hacking; maybe there were some other technical problems causing it too. Just keeping an eye on everything is super important!
It sounds rough! To really tackle this, make sure to freeze your credit immediately and report the identity theft to the IRS as well as the main credit bureaus. It's crucial to get those steps done. You're in the US, right? Just double-checking—those are key actions to take right now!
Yes, I'm in the US. Thanks for that, I've already taken those steps!
I didn't mention it earlier, but I’ve updated my post with more details. Thanks for your insights; this whole situation is really distressing!
