Did I get that unlucky and get assigned a bad IP?

Its mobile data btw.

And I don’t wanna point fingers and blame Proton, but like… c’mon,

First of all, its a real IP address,

Second, even if it were a VPN, so what, your company literally runs a VPN lol, kinda ironic.

And its also a paid account, and I rarely (almost never) send outgoing emails.

But again, this is just a small annoyance, I generated a new password in Keepass and its seems fixed.

    Btw, has anyone here actually got hacked?

    Lots of people have, usually it’s because they downloaded a cracked application that trojan-horsed a virus onto their system, or they installed a bad browser extension. Once on the system, the malware goes nuts spreading to other systems on their network, using keyloggers to grab passwords, etc.

    Keep browser extensions to an absolute minimum, don’t download program crackers or cracked programs to get around licensing costs, don’t install random 3rd party software on your computer without serious vetting, use strong AND UNIQUE passwords for every account along with 2FA wherever possible, and you should be fine.

    Oh, and lock your credit at all 3 bureaus. Every person in the US has had their information leaked by now, including full legal name, current and all previous mailing addresses, phone number, email, mother’s maiden name, and social security number. None of that information is private anymore. Freeze your credit to prevent someone from easily buying your info on the black web and stealing your identity. It’s free and you can temporarily unfreeze it at any time when you need to run a credit check (loan application, etc).
