Hello,

Please, advise as to how I can go about undertaking a full review of my security situation.

I am particularly concerned as:

- My gmail account password was accessed then changed (locking me out) and is only stored on Firefox - I was locked out of my Firefox account due to the 'Account Recovery' being changed to 'Disabled' without my doing so.

My internet setup is secure re VPN. etc.

Your prompt advice would be well appreciated! Thanks.

Are you using sync?

Does anyone else have access to your computers? What about your cel phone?

I recommend you change all passwords with all websites. But before you do so,
confirm your personal data first.

Change ALL passwords Everywhere.

What some hijackers do is to change the e-mail to their own just in case the user tries something.

Many thanks - will act pronto.

All the best!
