  My case: “My account still being able to log in recently and connect to the previously trusted Wi-Fi network on the stolen laptop caused the security loophole, allowing unauthorized access. Even though I changed my password, activated 2FA, and reported the laptop as lost to the provider, and also used the ‘log out of all devices’ function… the thief claimed to have turned off Wi-Fi, only turning it back on when I was asleep to log in by ‘switching the existing account’.”
