Potential for Spyware trouble?
So I stumbled upon this website ( www.spytox.com), which is kind of a whitepages directory where you could look up people, Telefone numbers...etc
For the sake of giving it a shot I went ahead and looked up someone by their name, the site started loading and giving the impression that a report is being prepared... and then nothing showed up.
I simply typed a name and clicked search... then clicked yes and no on some popups along the way, but it was kinda eerie that nothing showed up later.
**Putting the tin-foil hat  **
I am kinda worried that some kind of mal/spyware was planted into my browser by visiting that site and interacting with its content.
Main worry for sure is my eBay account. I don't want it being hacked
I am going to activate 2-step verification tomorrow with a new phone number just in case...
I looked up the website and it is barely mentioned online. Saw some reports about scamming potential...etc and nothing seems to be worrying in that regard.
What smells fishy about it and many other sites like it is that they could be operated from China
Any thoughts about this? Do you think I should consider cleaning house by formatting the device?
