Recently got hacked paranoia is consuming me
Last month I installed a sketchy game on my pc, and lo and behold all my passwords and accounts were taken over. I got everything back (bar Microsoft) and didn't lose anything of value. But my brain keeps finding things to focus on and freak myself out. Recently I've grown paranoid that in the 1 day they had access to my Google account, someone could have gone into my photos backup and stolen some photos. While I don't store any nudes or anything weird like that. And I'm not worried about documents because while I do have pictures of documents on there there's a 100 GB worth of photos there and I doubt they've been found. What I am worried about is that I have a lot of not al photos with child relatives and have grown incredibly anxious thinking that someone terrible could've got their hands on them. I love those kids with all my heart and I feel like I've failed them. On another account I had asked some people on tech subreddits and they said it's highly unlikely. But the feeling continues to consume me and make me unable to focus on anything
