First-
Unplug your comp from the internet. On another comp, download zorin OS, yes it linux but it was designed for our grandmas to use linux. I hope you had backups of your files. DO NOT do anything with your current computer, you may have a keylogger. Flash Zorin OS to a USB thumb drive. Boot from that thumb drive. One at the install screen, go advanced and erase hard drive. Once installed, change email from microcrap to proton mail or fastmail. Pay for your email. Download and use keepassXC, one password for your database/ Seperate usernames and passwords for each account. Plus, put a fraud alert on your credit reports. https://zorin.com/os/download/17/core/ https://keepassxc.org/ |

Two simple things to do that will keep you safe on-line...
1. Don't do dumb shit. (Go to sketchy websites, open e-mails from people you don't know, send money to Nigeria, etc.) 2. Create strong and unique passwords. Use an NON-CLOUD BASED password manager like KeepassXC. Make the passwords as long and complicated as the website will allow. Always remember the passwords to your financial, e-mail, and social media accounts. If you somehow get compromised you can rebuild without too much hassle. |

OP: I'm going to assume you didn't have MFA on the email account. Did you have a password that's simple, or used on multiple websites? Are your devices used on public wifi without a VPN?
IMHO, don't go off the deep end into proton mail and similar. It is a major red flag in some organizations to get emails from those providers. Gmail or MS is fine with MFA. Do any of your customers pay you with ACH or wire transfers? Ever scan a picture of a check with your routing number/account number? You need to be worrying about the banking side of this, and locking all of that down with unique, hard passwords and MFA. Greatly simplified, there's about two reasons you'd be targeted to get hacked as a small business: 1. To target your customers with fake payment details, so the bad actor can intercept your money. 2. To encrypt all of your stuff with ransomware. |

You should be able to click on the shield with the yellow exclamation triangle. That will get you to a virus and threat protection screen. You can then do a quick scan for current threats. Follow by a full scan later (full takes a while).

Your email was hacked. Nothing else. All your info was extracted from there. You have all your bank contacts, personal info, and so on.
Did you set up 2 factor authentication? |

OP, emails saying things like “SOMEONE IN RUSSIA IS TRYING TO LOGIN TO YOUR ACCOUNT” are often just phishing emails themselves, holding you’ll click through to “confirm your information”
Don’t click shit, and don’t enter your passwords on any site you arrived at by clicking one of those emails. If you go to your bank site visit it from the web browser only. As said, use a different password on every site, MFA wherever possible. This also seems like a flood attack, where you get your email and phone blown up so you miss a motivation about a password change or whatever in the middle of it. So pay attention. First thing first is locking down email with strong password and MFA. Then expand from there. |

You don't have 2 factor authentication set-up on any of your accounts. Otherwise, the Zelle would not have occurred to a new party without a code. The bank isn't going to fix it in person. You need to start fixing it from your home. Secure your accounts. Change the passwords. Turn on 2 factor authentication. You should have it for everything you can. |

Hacker proceeded to make 2 requests for about $75k and it was debited from her account. Button up everything. |

Quick update...
Went to the bank. While there, they had already taken $100, $200 and were actively trying to get $500 from my account through Zelle and the bank said it was coming from Indonesia. All accounts were immediately closed, disputes for fraud, and new cards/checks are being issued. Next stop was the cell phone store (Verizon). They looked and said the phone was fine but that most likely a bot was attacking all of my accounts linked to one of my emails. That makes sense. They also said that my Dell is most likely the weak link and to turn it off and get it cleaned immediately. Same with my WiFi router. The phone seems like it's damn near bullet-proof and safe to use for whatever. I called my internet service provider. They checked the router and said no one tried to mess with it by adding a device or anything like that. So now I'm on one of my Chromebooks which Verizon said were also difficult to infect or do anything malicious through. This will limp me through tonight and possibly get me to the weekend but now I have a kink in the chain for my business. That Dell was the ONLY computer in the house that could print. So now, no ability to print anything for my business. So now the question becomes.... Buy a new computer? Clean the old Dell? Buy a new printer? Have to call around and see how much a virus scan at company will cost. |
