Venting My phone fucking reset itself

[author]

I thought things were at least going okay for me and then I got a virus on my computer from a stupid download that I thought was safe. I've been spending hours dealing with it. It didn't seem like anything insane, it just tried to fuck with the registry but I've been fixing it and backing up my shit. Decided to take one hour for a break before bed. Suddenly, my phone restarts. I'm thinking, oh! It's just updating because it's so late at night! It does that!

Turns the fuck out, it fully factory reset on me. It said something about an "unauthorized factory reset" as if I could fucking do anything about it at that point. I was able to restore MOST of my apps since there was a backup from yesterday (although it considered some apps "too old" to be safe and wouldn't let me get them back).

I still lost all my pictures, music, data not directly connected to my google account, etc. I'm so fucking upset. It's literally over half a decade of memories just WIPED out of nowhere. I saw that 40 minutes ago someone from the UK logged into my google account. The virus bullshit, the random login I don't recognize, and now my phone being factory reset right after? I don't know what the FUCK is going on. I'm freaking the FUCK OUT.

I lost so many important things, so many pictures were memories I can't get back. I lost all my diary entries. I'm so fucking upset. I can't. I can't even fully process this. If I didn't want to die before I certainly can't say I want to fucking live now. FUCK.

Fuuuuuuuuck that's awful. I'm guessing you don't have anything that you backed stuff up to either?

Probably not a great time to mention, but Inabakumori peak

If it said Unauthorised Factory Reset, then action should be taken to secure the Google account, coz whatever triggered it (eg malware scraping the google account cookies) could sadly trigger it again.

Mmm, if that happened to me I'd lose weeks of media, since I don't backup my S8 regularly. Idk if files on an SD card would be preserved or not.

Additionally, account security could be the reason why SaSu prevents deletion of posts older than a few hours, and mass deletion of posts gets denied.

Oh shit, if the virus can scrape all my passwords then I'm fucked. Quite literally royally fucked. I have a lot of accounts and passwords saved including my bank shit and I'm not sure I can secure them all. If I lose what little money I have it's truly fucking over lol

Nope, I thought I had some auto cloud stuff on my gallery at least but it apparently had never been turned on once. The only thing I had was the auto cloud for like, apps and settings.

Also true.
