weird MS Edge browser attemted hack ?
Someone used Edge to attempt to login as user 'meisterB' in one of my financial accounts, as when I opened Edge and went to that website, the username meisterB was filled in as if remembered. I never use Edge, never, except this time. It worries me. This happened while I have had Windows Defender and Malwarebytes Premium up to date and running. Wtf?
I did a clean install of Windows 10 about two months ago, and I use Firefox 99.9999999% of the time. I just do not get how the above happened, what might be going on, seem very suspicious.
I have installed several open source software programs, could one of them be behind this, even with my anti-malware allegedly providing real time protection? Should I uninstall some of the open source software to protect myself? I also installed a free version of DxO optics Pro 9, that is not opensource. I have never had issues with opensource software in the past (7-zip, Libreoffice, Abiword, Clementine, Greenshot screenshot grabber, etc)
Any thoughts, suggested actions? Or do I just let go of this?
