Update your antivirus software and run a full scan of your device immediately. If you detect infected files or malware, quarantine them or, preferably, delete them immediately from your device. Reset all logins and passwords used to log in to websites and prepare new ones, remembering to follow the rules for creating strong and secure passwords. Note - this only makes sense after removing the malware from your computer. Otherwise, criminals' software will capture your new password. Enable two-factor authentication, the so-called FA for access to the Customer Panel and FA for Webmail .

Access to them can be used for further activities by cybercriminals - the famous OLX scams . In turn, in the case of online stores, the risk is moderate because they rarely fulfill orders that are not paid.

Of course, there is also a risk of blackmailing the owners of websites whose data was leaked - by convincing them that data from their system/server/application was stolen.
