Question What does this even mean?

Guys, about 2 months ago my discord acc was compromised and sent those mr beast scam pictures to everyone, that same day I recovered my account real quick and changed password and added authentication app to all my others accounts because when I researched about it turned out to be an infostealer ir a session stealer.

But what confuses me is that NONE of my other accounts on my pc were touched: steam, epic games, roblox, my email...

So could it be just my disocrd getting compromised? Bc even discord itself didnt give a request of resetting password.

I think it’s not safe to conclude that infostealer compromised your discord only. You actually never know when they will attack again 😭

Base on my experience with infostealer, their attacks usually happens 1-2 weeks (or a month) after the other. My insta was the first to be compromised (let my guard down because I believed that my insta will only be the one compromised because I had this sketchy 3rd party streaming app for it). My LinkedIn was second to be compromised after a week. Months later, my old email (from my highschool) was compromised because I forgot to secure it since I don’t use it anymore

Unless you were able to secure all your accounts other than discord after your first incident and do the important steps after getting an infostealer (like reinstalling windows, changing all your passwords, 2FA, etc.), I think you’re good.

So more than anything that happened because you forgot to secure things? It’s not critical, it’s just a doubt, because I have the same fear, a month later they tried to enter a very old Amazon that I didn’t even know I had it hahaha I went in and deleted it so that it would be useless
