> but on a universal level, we're missing a cohesive master plan, in which a user, a human, need not undertake endless and repeated manual fend-off of the devil
This is a very good way of stating the problem in terms anyone can relate to.
> I had one brow raised, a little suspicious, but not very much to initiate a full-scale defense
This on the other hand seems overly superficial. You get your eMarketplace account hacked, then your Twitter account, and you're just "a little suspicious"? My eyebrows would raise all the way to the back of my head after this. Not sure I'd know where to start but I'd be very concerned.
> A few days later, the same thing happened with my TikTok and Reddit accounts. I repeated the previous steps now that I had gotten used to them. This time I raised two of my brows with a little more suspicion. Still not quite there, though.
I mean... This is an incredibly high threshold for getting concerned. The kind that lowers the bar to getting hacked.
Totally on point. I should've taken it more seriously in the first incident. That way, I could've kept my TikTok and X accounts. But the damage is done, and it has been a good lesson to me. Hopefully my post could be as much of a "lesson" to those reading, without getting compromised as I was.
