Well, that was an exciting night.
My father got a new PC today, which is great, since the old one was almost 10 years old and very borked. I had promised to help copy his email profile. Everything went rather smoothly until internet stopped working. Whilst working on that problem my mother received an email from a webshop to verify it. So I suspect someone hacked it or tried to (or my mother did something, a fair chance of that). I couldn't reset her password on her tablet, eventually I did it on mine, but after so many attempts the account was blocked.
I didn't have the energy to continue and told her to keep an eye on her credit card and to reset the password of her email (which made her panic, but I'm not going to do that). Meanwhile I also figured out why my dad's PC didn't have internet; it came pre-installed with a virus scan, the only pre-installed software, and her had just installed his own preferred virus scan. That caused internet access to be blocked. Easily solved by uninstalling the pre-installed one.
Add to that that it's my first full day on my period and I'm getting a cold. So right now I'm both cranky and tired.
