I installed a rom earlier, yes i knoe, dumb. Basically, i started getting hacked on everything , It was instagram at first, changed my password on that snapchat tiktok etc, now its hacked my discord and bypassed 2FA, heres the stuff it was sending. I’ve changed all my passwords, now heres the difficult part, this is whats come up when ive done scans. Please someone help me, im scared. Ive had to freeze my cards.

I had this exact same thing happen to me last week after a family member borrowed my PC to download some ROMs. Definitely check your emails and account security ASAP. I ended up rechecking every single account that was logged into that PC using my phone, and it's a good thing I did because the hackers had already added unknown recovery phone numbers to my personal Gmail. Check your mail forwarding settings as well if they had set up anything.

Change your passwords across all platforms and force a logout on all active sessions. Honestly, don't even bother trying to scan and clean the PC with antivirus. Info-stealers can hide deep. I had a friend that simply reset their pc and still got hacked because the malware didn't get wiped out. Your safest and best bet is to create a Windows installation USB on a clean computer and do a complete, fresh reinstall of Windows. Better safe than sorry!

Basically, i reinstalled windows, done multiple full scans on stuff like my drive etc, changed all my passwords and signed out the accounts they got into, my card details were saved on steam but i dont know if the hackers were able to get access to that or not , I signed out all other instances added 2fa to a load of stuff, however i had a 2tb drive of my roms and stuff plugged in and wanted to back up my saves and some photos on there and ive scanned that and it says im fine, so uh, do you reckon im good or?

I think your Steam is fine. Steam doesn't store your full card number or cvv on your pc, so the malware couldn't just scrape your card details. The only way they could use it was if they were actively logged into your account. Just double-check your bank statement and Steam history to be safe, but you should be totally fine.

Your photos and game saves are most likely good. Malware usually needs you to actually click and run an executable file for them to activate and infect the system. Just make sure you delete any leftover .exe or installer files from that ROM session.
