I can identify with this feel anon.

Meh, happens to the best of us.

Luckily I realized what happened like 10 seconds after I entered my password. Also even if I didn't, it was just the login to an account that didn't have any payment info tied to it.

Common sense 2016 has unpatched bugs - humans aren't perfect and inevitably make a mistake at some point.

I've pirated loads of software and games over the years and all malware scans have come back clean and none of my accounts have ever been compromised, never had any money stolen etc.

If I have been infected with malware, how fucking long do they want to wait before using it?

Pretty easy apparently. I get so many emails from other students' university email addresses claiming to be from this or that department. I loaded one of the links on my web browser and it was a domain registered in the Netherlands. People just don't think when they see something of relevant authority.

I had something similar, I ask them for the last 4 digits if they refuse I say fine I'll go down to x and sort it in person

>>58228742
Same thing to me except it was a phone call. I'm still not sure if it was legitimate or not but they verified the purchases and the blocked on was amazon prime subscription. But after giving my social the first time I felt retarded

depends, I've seen malware that activates after a year, plus most common is being part of a botnet which is difficult to detect

Since KA was shut down I have nothing that's trustable because of a small user base so at most there's like 5 comments that will have half that say it's fake or real.

I used an ISO of Windows 10 from team os from some shitty torrent site that gave me malware while installing malware bytes. So far it works and I'm not logging into any account since it's just a laptop that I use to display on my tv for movies.

I feel so lost and I feel like I'm out of the loop without KA or TPB. Demonoid went to shit and isohunt is nothing compared to its former self.

>downloading a pirated iso when MS gives you one for free
lol

>>58230210
You have to have a valid key to start the download. I bought a Windows 7 key from a key site but it's an oem key. So it works if I find an ISO but if I want to download it from Microsoft it won't let me.
