Security Issues

Somebody hacked into my Microsoft account and changed the associated email and password. I’ve tried all the troubleshooting steps on the Microsoft website, but without the new email, I'm stuck. What should I do next?

Hello, I'm looking for a method to permanently disable or remove Windows Defender from my Windows 10 PC. I don't want recommendations about the risks or suggestions to simply disable it temporarily, as I'm aware of the implications. My goal is to completely stop Windows Defender from interfering with my activities on the computer, as it reactivates itself even when I turn off real-time protection. Please provide clear instructions on how to achieve this. Thank you

I recently received a warning from Windows Defender as it detected Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.H!ml after installing an Xbox game. The complete message reads as follows: Remediation Incomplete Detected: Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.H!ml Status: Failed This threat or app might not be completely remediated. Details: This program is dangerous and executes commands from an attacker. Affected items:file: D:\XboxGames\A231BC6F-3B30-4C80-919E-DCEA2086E602\Content\Installers\EasyAntiCheat_EOS_Setup.exe I'm unsure of the source of this threat and why it's affecting Easy Anti-Cheat. On the day this message appeared, I only reinstalled Sea of Thieves from the Microsoft Store placed in the Xbox Games folder and uses Easy Anti-Cheat. I haven't downloaded any suspicious files and have only accessed some long-standing Steam games, Epic Games titles, and Word and Excel documents. I performed multiple full scans with Malwarebytes and Microsoft Defender Offline, both of which have yielded no detected threats. And I haven't noticed any unusual behavior on my computer, as it has been functioning normally. Could this be a false positive threat? Apologies if I provided too much or too little information, I'm new to seeking help here.

Recently, I’ve been getting notifications about unauthorized login attempts on my Windows account. I’ve changed my password twice, but the attempts keep happening. I’m worried someone might gain access to my files or personal information. Has anyone else dealt with this? How can I secure my account and stop these attempts?
