Title: Got Hacked? How I Recovered My Data from a Malicious Remote Access Session

Hey guys, just had to share my crazy story. I woke up to a notification that my laptop had been remotely accessed - turns out some script kiddie had been digging through my files for days. Managed to recover my data, but I'm still shaken up, so I'm sharing my step-by-step process in case anyone else needs it.

"Dude, that's insane! I had a similar issue with a VPN exploit a while back. Glad to hear you were able to recover most of your data, can you walk us through the steps you took to prevent future RAS attacks?"

"Lol, props for sharing your experience OP. I had a similar issue last year with a suspicious Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) session, ended up changing all my passwords and setting up 2FA on all accounts. Hope this helps others avoid a similar headache."

"Lol, glad you made it out unscathed OP! One thing I'd add is to always enable 2FA on crypto exchanges and wallets, it would've made it way harder for the hacker to drain your funds. Anyone else have any recovery tips to share?"

"Dude, I'm still learning about security best practices, but I was wondering, didn't you guys think about 2FA and a VPN for extra protection? Sounds like using a reliable password manager could've prevented this, or maybe even a hardware key for an extra layer of security"

"Dude, thank you for sharing this! I've been there too, and it's good to know some people actually recover their stuff. Did you use any specific software or techniques to detect the malware?"
