A number of my accounts have been hacked - what should I do next?
Hi all,As I'm sure many of you can relate to, over the years I've created so many accounts across different platforms that I lost track of them all many years ago. I tend to (stupidly) use the same email-password combination when I create accounts - and inevitably, it has come back to bite me.A few months ago, my Amazon account was hacked. I was able to log back into it, change back the details, set up a new password and toggle two-step verification. Since then, it's been the same sequence of events with my Instagram account, EA account, and my Mojang account - with me realising each time after receiving an email saying my details have just been changed. Obviously, my details have been leaked from somewhere and it will likely be a matter of time before I don't hear about a breach, my account is permanently taken from me, my financial details are discovered, or something equally sinister.So, what steps should I be taking here? I have no idea how many accounts I have dotted around under this email-password combination. Should I just start by securing the most important/sensitive ones or is there someway I could find out what accounts my email address is registered to? Secondly, obviously, I need to start using unique passwords, I've heard people mention things like LastPass before. Would that be my best option? Could it be that someone is logged into my Chrome/Google account somewhere? If there is any other advice you can offer, please do! All help appreciated!

Reducing the attack surface on my Windows 7 computer
I currently use Avast Antivirus, and I do a monthly scan with MBAR. I use a VPN for all my surfing and work-related internet activity.I'm honestly putting a shout out because I want to be as secure as possible, but I feel like the more I learn about it, the more I feel like the average joe using a corny antivirus thinking they are secure.Any tips, forums or resources you can suggest that could help me improve my daily security posture?
