Question about what passwords have been comprised:

I never logged into anything after my computer was compromised (was already logged into FTP and changed that pw)

Do I need to be worried aobut like PokerStars password even though I neve ropened it during that time?

Any data that you had stored on your pc when it was compromised is now up in the air.

Clearly, it is not possible that your whole hard disk was copied (since transfer speeds and time would have limited the amount of data that can be transferred) - however, there is no way to determine what data was accessed on your hard disk.


It is possible that your passwords were not seen by the hacker. However, it is not (realistically) possible to determine either way. Thus, it would be prudent to change eveyr password you can (apart from anything else, reguarly changing your passwords is a good idea anyway)
