    Svmmits got a reaction from Lurick in I WAS HACKED   
    @Lurick I bought an extension cable yesterday on the amazon app cause I used a credit card to buy it rather than my debit card. So then I get on my bank app to make sure it charged the credit instead of the debit I saw that I was charged 13.01 for amazon prime but that was late at night 2:34 am. I was confused so I immediately spoke to amazon reps and they told me there was an unknown device they locked my account and said I needed to wait for an email because they had to investigate they said it would take 24 hours so today when I woke up I tried to check my email but it wouldn’t let me sign in because google said there was a suspicion about a purchase made yesterday. I finally got access to the account and I saw that one of the devices was unknown but the IP address was there and it was some rando from New York but it said it was my PC but with a different up address. My PC is a desktop in my room.

    Most likely what happened is you re-used the same credentials somewhere else and that website/service was compromised. I'd start with enabling 2FA (2 factor authentication),  sticking with a passwords/credentials regiment that doesn't re-use the same passwords (maybe a password manager), and stop by https://haveibeenpwned.com/ to see where your information may have been compromised.
