How long must I stay alert? Is it forever?
My computer got trojan in late April, and I luckily manage to recover every single account that got compromised. I also have already nuked my PC and reinstalled windows, and I'd say all is good now. ...
The trojan did capture your old Microsoft password back in April. Even though you changed it, automated botnets often cycle through stolen credentials for weeks or months. The attacker just now got around to trying your credentials in a fresh batch.
