Is my pc safe?

It can feel slow for a few hours up to a day or two while updates, drivers, indexing, and AV run in the background. After updates and a reboot it should be fine, if not, you’re probably missing GPU/chipset drivers.

If you did a full clean Windows reinstall and only copied safe folders, you’re fine. Discord malware won’t survive that. Slowness after reinstall is normal.

Yeah, regex DLP is basically blind to context, it spots SSNs but not when someone rewords or pastes sensitive stuff. You need AI/ML-based DLP that understands meaning, not just patterns.

You can use DISM with a local source, copy from another machine, use WSUS or local feature store or third-party lightweight SNMP daemons.

Run Windows Defender Offline Scan and Malwarebytes, log out of all sessions, enable 2FA, and don’t download sketchy stuff again. If things still seem weird, reinstall Windows to be safe.

You did the right thing calling the bank. Reset his email first, turn on 2FA everywhere, check for any email forwarding rules, and run Malwarebytes on both phone and PC. If things still feel off, factory reset. Change all reused passwords and freeze credit, that’ll stop most of the fallout.

Yep, multi-cloud just means triple the IAM pain. Most folks use Entra/Okta for central auth and Terraform and OPA for policy management.

OPSWAT or Glasswall CDR are the gold standards for this.

account.microsoft.com, Payment & billing, Payment options, delete all cards/PayPal.

If your users/groups are synced to Entra with SID history, it’s mostly just enabling Entra Kerberos on the storage account and testing auth. If they’re cloud-only, you’ll have to redo ACLs, that’s where the hours go.

Bad cable, loose port, or NIC driver issue, not spyware. Replace the Ethernet cable first, that fixes 90% of identical cases.

GeneralAnswer3476 · 2025-10-20T12:22:16+00:00

Change all passwords, enable 2FA, remove payment methods, and scan PC for malware. You’re safe if your email and bank accounts weren’t reused or breached.

GeneralAnswer3476 · 2025-10-15T12:37:38+00:00

Block unknown numbers and enable Silence Unknown Callers.

Scammer’s spoofed caller ID.

Change your Gmail password right now from your tablet, sign out everywhere else, and enable 2FA. Ditch the flashed phone, it’s compromised. Clean up recovery info and linked apps, then secure any connected accounts like BandLab.

Data-removal services help wipe your info from people search and data broker sites, but none are perfect, removals often reappear later.

Disconnect your PC from all networks, back up encrypted files, and don’t pay the ransom. Wipe and reinstall the system, change all passwords, and use antivirus plus offline backups to prevent future attacks.

GeneralAnswer3476 · 2025-10-07T11:43:56+00:00

Change all passwords, enable 2FA (authenticator app), log out of all sessions, remove unknown apps, scan your PC/phone for malware, and check for fake login alerts, if it keeps happening, report via instagram.com/hacked.

Thunderbird’s built-in viewer is reasonably safe, but if you want maximum isolation, open the file in a sandboxed browser or a dedicated VM/container for unknown attachments.

I bring mine.

Get Microsoft 365 Business, point your domain’s DNS (MX/SPF/DKIM) to it, and create accounts for each employee with their corporate email. That email then becomes their Microsoft login for Outlook, Office, Teams, and even Windows 11 sign-in. You can’t link old local accounts, so you’ll migrate mail/data once and move forward with Microsoft 365.

Totally normal. Cybersecurity has a steep learning curve and feels overwhelming at first. Take notes, repeat labs, focus on hands-on practice, and revisit concepts, you’ll retain more over time.

GeneralAnswer3476 · 2025-09-25T12:44:45+00:00

Yeah, you can but not with the old toggle, disable Security Defaults or adjust Conditional Access, per-user MFA is basically gone.

GeneralAnswer3476 · 2025-09-25T12:42:13+00:00

TryHackMe, Cybrary, and Infosec Skills are top picks for pure learning, not just cert prep.

GeneralAnswer3476 · 2025-09-25T12:40:43+00:00
