Chinese hackers at it again. It’s crazy; I’ve changed my password twice lol. They really want this account.
For keeping malware off your machine Windows Defender and some common sense should be perfectly fine, although I would recommend running ConfigureDefender and choosing whatever security level you find most appropriate for your use case. Also if you ever suspect you have malware that Defender didn't detect, just download the free version of malwarebytes, do a quick scan and uninstall it again; it's highly unlikely that something would make it past both of them.
