So first, someone logged into my hotmail account from a German IP address several times and sent phishing emails to myself. Probably because if they sent it from their own email address it would be marked as spam. I changed my password and it happened AGAIN. Then, I received an email from twitter saying that my twitter account’s password was reset because they believe it was compromised. So I reset my password and then it was changed again(not by me). There must be something wrong with my PC. I did a full system scan with avast and nothing came up. What should I do?
follow instructions https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0
attach Malwarebytes and Farbar Recovery Scan Tool logs
So first, someone logged into my hotmail account from a German IP address several times and sent phishing emails to myself.How do you know this? It is really easy to send a email and make it look like it was send from your own account/email address. I can write a little tool in BASIC that does it within 10 minutes!
Then, I received an email from twitter saying that my twitter account's password was reset because they believe it was compromised.How did you know the mail was really from Twitter?
How exactly did you changed the passwords?
Attached the files.
How do I know it’s from my own email address? Because it says it’s from me and when I reply to that phishing email it comes right into my inbox.
I know the twitter email was legit because their email address is the same as the one I get when I changed my password normally. I changed my password by going to twitter.com. I tried to log in after receiving the email then I realized the email wasn’t joking so I click ‘forgot password’.

Pondus stole the words right out of my typing
woops. left that out.
I heard about that a long time ago. I’m only using their uninstaller lol. No harm done.
I can see no apparent malware I would guess that the account was hacked online. Have you changed your passwords ?
Changed both my email and twitter password once, still receiving emails from myself and my twitter password just got changed.
OK lets do a really deep scan, it will take a while
