Any chance that hacker can access to other devices through wifi network?
You can prevent the LOLbin from contacting its C2 server by using an tool like FirewallHardening which you can download here, it allows you to add firewall block rules in Windows Firewall to prevent LOLbins from phoning home, not only .NET framework files but also things like Powershell and ConHost which are abused by the majority of malware.

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.

Andy Ful also has system hardening tools that add an extra layer of protection but there have been some compatibility issues with windows new SmartApp Control feature https://github.com/AndyFul/Hard_Configurator/tree/master/Simple%20Windows%20Hardening .
