I think a small fish like me is at little risk of being hacked. The bigger fish that I deal with like banks/credit unions/credit bureaus/hospitals etc. are my real risk.  

Family member visited some website and somehow got PC infected with the virus that Microsoft Defender can't remove. It will alert on virus, attempt to clean the PC, reboots it, but after reboot everything repeats again.

It's been years ago, but sharing this story to show that not just "big fish" gets hit.

Do a system restore back to when the computer was "clean" (i.e. not infected).
