So being a tard I accidentally hit run on an infostealer exe on my PC. Did all the standard security steps in the first hour after infection. It's been over a week now and no login attempts or suspicious activity, am I in the safe yet?
install gentoo
wait about 2 more weeks
>>110288449Too late, i am already in.
Rotate every password idiot
>>110288449Did you try asking chat?
>>110288528I already did
>>110288449is this real??
>>110288449depends on how many functions the creator had enabled, it could have just instagrabbed your browser passwords and fucked off, or it could have zipped up as many interesting looking files as possible and uploaded it to be read laterif only microsoft could copy the part of macos where every app doesn't automatically get permission to read every fucking file on your system and do whatever it wants to it
>>110288449reverse engineer it with claude and then go to the "hackers" address and beat them up.
>>110291249these days they usually have bots to auto attempt logins of everything, right, so I was thinking something got interrupted in the process
>>110291890it's possible. I think windows defender might block some of them now. Or maybe it was an old exe that tried to connect to a server that doesn't exist anymore.I had the same thing happen back in july. Ripped out the ethernet cable and changed all my shit within 15 minutes. Never connected that install to the internet again and wiped it after transferring some files off. And haven't noticed anything odd other than maybe a bit more phishing spam email shit. But that might not even be related.
>>110291993>same thing happen back in julyWas this related to vidya game downloads? They targeting gamers
>>110292160yeah it was supposedly an hgame translation I couldn't find elsewhere (because the translated version doesn't actually exist) so I didn't have alarm bells from it being a renpy executablewas also pretty exhausted and brainless at the time since my dad had been in the hospital for weeks from a heart attack
>>110292375Sorry to hear about your dad anon and yes that's pretty crazy I was also tired and focused on another game at the time. Checked on plebbit and there seems to be a huge surge of infections in the last few months related mostly to discord steam etc hijackings. Its some organized shit
>>110292722all good now :) And yeah I was researching potential issues at the time and saw that having discord accounts hijacked was pretty common. Hadn't used discord in years but I tracked down my login to reset the password and also made a discord support account. Supposedly that helps prevent the thieves from creating a support account in your name to take it over
>>110292762Thing is I didn't even have discord installed. Had steam open but nothing came of that as I said. Hopefully stays that way
>>110292375translation? literally the one thing AI can actually do
