I tried using an instragram private account thing I just wanted to see if it worked. I clicked on the website putting in no info of my own. I clicked on one of the verify things which was like "Get a new iphone 10" by answering the three questions I answered all of them innacurately and put in a deleted email, just to see if it would give me any result. And suddenly my browser starts loading slower, so i close the page, and wipe the history. Upon trying to log into my gmail account when I log in my google authenticator says I'm trying to login from ukraine. This happened as soon as I logged in so it seemed they changed my location to ukraine, which I can't seem how to fix and that's the only thing i've noticed. What else should I do?

Run a virus scan using Malware Bytes and then change the password to your accounts.

 

In future only use the official instagram services.

I changed the password and reset the locations, I have done a malwarebytes scan, and now I'm scanning with Bitdefender. Is there any other way to see if my account has been compromised?

I’ve had google account attempted log ins from all over Eastern Europe, Middle East and China. 

 

Make your password really long, really complicated & setup mobile 2 step authentication. You’ll be fine. 

 

My passwords represent the following:

Keep your password in a safe place or make it something memorable.
