  • First of all: Sorry to hear that, this sucks!

    Regarding your digital information: I’d suggest you to get a new email and gradually replace the old one in your accounts to avoid spam. Even though they claim your password wasn’t stolen, I’d highly suggest you to change your passwords anyway, just in case. Also, as they say, be very careful about potential phishing attacks.

    As for your personal information such as your address: I’m afraid there’s not much you can do. I’d argue, however, that it’s not as valuable to potential hackers. One potential scam involving stolen addresses is sending purchases made with a stolen credit card to your address and asking you to forward it. Don’t accept deliveries you didn’t expect for this reason (depending on your local law it may lead to criminal charges against you, even though you’re still technically the victim of a scam).









  • I’m able to speak German (native speaker) and English (fluent).


    Also, as a German speaker, I’d like to correct the question in the post:

    Formal would be “Welche Sprachen sprechen Sie?”.

    More fitting for a casual environment (such as Lemmy) would be “Welche Sprachen sprecht Ihr?” though :)

    This is, because in German there are formal and informal ways of addressing people, both with their distinctive pronouns. Usually, when talking to people you don’t know personally, you’ll address them formally and then, when offered to, switch to the informal style once you know them. Online or among the younger generation it is much more common to just use the informal case though.
