Maydaynp@aol.com 0 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 I use Evernote to store pages of passwords And bank accounts and well you get the picture. So my account was hacked by a phone in India then passed to a phone in Illinois before I could delete the devices I am sure all my information was saved by hackers. Link to comment

Level 5* gazumped 12,067 Posted September 3, 2020 Level 5* Share Posted September 3, 2020 Hi. If you've not already done so, I suggest you change your password and set up 2-factor ID on your account to prevent any further access. Evernote, as you have found, is not an ideal place to store this sort of information unless the notes are at least encrypted. You might consider a password manager like BitWarden or LastPass. Your bank should be able to help you change their access details too so that they remain secure. 1 Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,814 Posted September 4, 2020 Level 5 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Yes, plus another piece of advise: After you got your Password manager, change ALL your account passwords in the internet. Start with your e-Mail accounts, because the are used to reset passwords. If somebody gets control here, your identity can get stolen. Activate 2FA on your mail accounts. From there, work your way down the list, starting with everything related to money: Banks, PayPal, Amazon, EBay, insurances etc. Take all sensitive stuff like passwords out of EN. It is no place to store that information. Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,814 Posted September 4, 2020 Level 5 Share Posted September 4, 2020 P.S. And change your forum name if this is your real mail address. Everybody can come here, pick it up, send you spam or use it for other critical stuff. If you did the same in other open services like a user forum, do the same. If you get a lot of unwanted mail, I would regard the mail address as „burned“ - then better get a new one. 1 Link to comment
