I’ve been in and out of various places around town the last couple weeks and I do remember on one occasion I did log into public wifi. The more I’m diving into finding the source weak spot that allowed this, the more I’m leaning towards this being a drive by data scraping off of public wifi. How would you set that up with K9 exactly? Also if I’m using it on K9, would I also have to set it up at home on my PC, where I use a different program? In regards to TOTP, no I don’t use it but will definitely be looking into it.
It was unique, I never use the same PW from one site to the next, and in this case, this was nothing like any of the ones I use for sites because it was for my email address specifically. If I remember the original PW affected was probably 10-12 characters. I use a passphrase mixed with numbers, upper/lower case and symbols. I’m not blaming K9 by the way, I’m just looking for the root cause of how they had access to my email login info on my phone. If it’s a sniffer program, they could have grabbed them when I logged into K9 any number of times during the day, but I assumed all of that was encrypted between the two points?Īny advice on how I can tackle this and prevent this from happening in the future is appreciated.

So with that said, how would they have been able to access my email credentials on my phone? I have it set in K9 that anytime I want to make any server/pw changes in my accounts it asks for a master password to do it. I am aware I may have already uninstalled this app within the last couple weeks not realizing what was going on. I also never download 3rd party apps, only through the Google Play store.

I am on android and always try to be careful with downloading apps that may be suspicious. I ran deep malware and antivirus scans and everything came up clean. They believe this came from my phone, meaning an app scraped my email login info off my phone. The host also ran a security check and found that there were zero failed login attempts and no security flags were raised on the server end. (so if I had changed my email’s PW at that very beginning of this, all of this would have been prevented, sigh.) Yep, someone did, and at all the times I was receiving FB messages about password resets and other stuff while I slept. I contacted my site’s hosting provider and told them what happened and asked for them to check if any other IP address other than my own accessed the email that night. I then thought it had to do with my email. The next day I found that didn’t matter and they got in anyway.īecause I am so cautious with all of this stuff, I figured it wasn’t on FB’s end. I deleted the email from my phone, logged into FB on my PC and changed my PW just to be safe and then went to bed. I did not do this and immediately thought something was up.

Right before bedtime I got a notice from FB saying a password reset was requested and here’s the code to do it. I knew there was no way they brute forced their way into this account.
All my PWs are different from one site/app to the next, and I use long PWs with lower/upper/numbers/symbols. I am a tech person and very security cautious. They changed my name and pic, friended someone (I assume to scrape my data) and then posted something that triggered the algorithms to suspend the account. Sorry, I have a story first… Two days ago my Facebook account was hacked into.
