my phone got hacked w all my 2fa stuff on it so this morning has been a wild goose chase of redoing literally all my passwords... and preventing this 19 year old script kiddie from buying cryptobucks with my credit card. its so so bad.
if you ever have anxiety about this stuff just knwo the best way to mitigate the worst case scenario is just freeze all your payment processes and then redo all of your passwords n logins on a device youre sure isnt compromised. its not really scary its just time consuming and a pain in the ass. especially when it comes to accts like microsoft which are famously unhelpful and will tell you that theres nothing you can do for a compromised account if the email was changed

also remember never to download strange apps paired with temu/low quality control electronics no matter how much your well meaning tech illiterate mom pressures you to. it works until it decides it doesnt and you forget about it, and then the app starts injecting malware into your phone when youre not looking. if your phone starts installing random apps like games and shit then do a factory reset no matter how much youre attached to your current files

also a reminder never to use the same password forever on all accounts you care about because if one of those accounts gets leaked then its a matter of time before some kid uses it on every single email you own
