I got hacked

[wakasm]

I was hacked while using the Phone Authenticator within a week after a reformat of Windows 7. I'm fairly tech savy and keep my inter web surfing somewhat peril free. I've never had any issues using the normal Authenticator method. I'm fairly confident i got key logged while googling for a specific mod. It can happen REALLY easily if you aren't paranoid about it 24/7.

the main reason is that Authenticator has been around for a long time, they are cheap and worth every penny, if you have an iPhone there is even an app for it so you don't have to buy one. it can be tied to multiple accounts and as far as I know you can logon to multiple accounts at the same time if you used multiple email account names, if all of the accounts are under one email then I believe you have to wait 30 seconds to logon each account using a different Authenticator number. It's a small price to pay for security.

As stated earlier in this thread, you can no longer do this unless you already had it this way prior to the change.

what kind of network do you have? I used to have mix of wireless and hardwired and I got all of my email hacked. I have not had a single problem since I shutdown my wireless and put real passwords on my PCs. letting someone use your wireless network lets them jump your firewall. if you have poor passwords on your PCs (such as no-password ) they can easily get lots of information directly from your PC.

I heard that some hackers don't go after individual computers, but low security bulletin boards, and put the trojan there and gain access to all the email addresses and passwords therein, most people use the same passwords for everything. I'm not saying this happened to you, but it's a common occurrence.
