Important post for Windows users with OneDrive enabled

Many people have lost a lot of money as follows: a hacker makes a backup copy of your files (private and others) and sends it all to the cloud, then breaks into your Microsoft Outlook email, to which your OneDrive is linked, and extracts private data from there.

2. Go to onedrive.live.com and check what data is stored in your cloud. Save important confidential data elsewhere and clean up the cloud.

Be extremely careful, as when you completely clear it, you may accidentally delete your passwords and private data from "Notes" (a common mistake). Don't forget to empty the trash where files go when deleted.

3. Go to account.live.com/proofs/ma... and add 2FA. You can use the familiar Google Authenticator without downloading Microsoft's two-factor authentication app.

4. Check the strength of your password. If your password contains "123", "12345", or "qwerty", "admin", "password", or your name + these combinations, then you don't have a password. It's better to use password generators.

5. Remove your password from the browser's autocomplete and password manager. It's better to enter passwords manually each time for the most important services.

6. If you don't use OneDrive, uninstall it from your PC so you don't have to worry about similar news later.

If you haven't turned off OneDrive yourself, it probably stores your data in the cloud. 

How to protect yourself?

1. Go to account.live.com/Activity and check login attempts. If there are successful logins (not yours), then everything is bad - change all passwords immediately. If everything is normal, then continue.
