"Guys, I'm still trying to process the chaos - my personal email got hacked and the scammer went to town, sending phishing emails to all my contacts and even trying to drain my crypto stash. Anyone else had a similar experience? I've already reported it to my ISP and email provider, but I'm curious if there are any specific precautions we should be taking to prevent this in the future."

"No way, dude, sorry to hear that. I've been using 2FA and a password manager for ages now, just in case – might want to consider those if you haven't already. Have you contacted your ISP about the hack?"

"Dude, sorry to hear that. Happened to me 6 months ago, I had 2FA enabled, but still got hit. Make sure to change all your passwords and enable 2FA if you haven't already."

"Sorry to hear that bro. Did you get any ransom demands or is it just a standard phishing attempt? You might wanna check your password manager too, just in case they got into other accounts"
