I noticed some suspicious activity across multiple accounts recently. My Instagram has been posting random videos, my Steam wallet was used for something related to Dota 2, and now my Facebook account is listing things for sale on the marketplace without my consent. I've already changed my passwords and set up two-factor authentication, plus I installed an authenticator app, but I'm still facing issues. I think there might be malware involved since Malwarebytes found a Trojan, which I put in quarantine. Despite taking these security measures, my Facebook was hacked two days later. I'm seeking advice on how to resolve this issue and keep it from happening again. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

With recent leaks of billions of passwords, it's definitely not just you feeling vulnerable. While some might think it's all about leaks, a lot of hacks happen due to session theft or malicious links. Be very cautious about what you click, and always double-check any software you download.
Did this all happen recently? It might be worth considering if you’ve experienced this wave of hacks because of some recent phishing trend. Just stay vigilant and avoid shady links!
First things first, you should change all your passwords again and consider doing a full clean install of Windows 11. It can help eliminate any lingering malware. If that's too complicated, make sure to use a different PC that you know is clean to set up new accounts and change passwords as needed.
It's vital to ensure you're using a safe and secure device. If you suspect your current PC is compromised, try to find a clean one to do a fresh Windows install. Also, change every password to make sure the bad guys can't access your accounts anymore.
