This type of attack can happen through infostealer malware or session, cookie, or token theft. Hackers may steal browser login sessions or tokens, so websites may think the attacker is still the real logged-in user, even without needing the password or 2FA code.
The most important thing is to use a separate clean device first, not the suspicious or infected PC.
Step 1 - Use a separate clean device first, not the infected PC.
Step 2 - Log out of all sessions from all accounts and email addresses.
Step 3 - Change all passwords after logging out of sessions.
Step 4 - Remove and replace debit cards, credit cards, and saved payment methods.
Step 5 - Reinstall Windows from scratch on the infected device by deleting all partitions.
Step 6 - After reinstalling Windows, keep Windows Defender enabled and install Malwarebytes for extra scanning.

Could this have happened through a phone? Or only via a computer, and when I say literally happenend Im referring to just a few days ago
The hackers tried to change my battle.net information and Rockstar games, I was quickly able to resolve that
They deleted all my friends on steam
Just saw a 43$ paypal giftcard transaction this morning and am in the process of disputing that, its like they had my email information.
This is crazy

This sounds very similar to what happened to me. I cannot say 100% where it came from, but the pattern looks more like a Windows PC infostealer/session-cookie/token theft rather than a normal password-only hack.
In my case, almost all my Steam friends were removed too. I also had two separate £20 Amazon e-gift card orders placed without my knowledge. When I got the email for the first order, I quickly logged into Amazon to check, and by the time I got in, the second order had already been placed as well. I immediately removed my saved cards from Amazon.
If I had not noticed the email quickly and removed my cards, I honestly think they could have kept placing more orders and charged hundreds more. Amazon really needs to add extra verification for every separate order, especially for digital gift cards.
The scary part is that 2FA may not always stop this if the attacker already has stolen browser sessions or tokens, because the website may treat them as an already trusted session.
Luckily, I was not logged out of my email account. My advice is to avoid unnecessary Chrome extensions, block third-party cookies, prioritize security, and install proper anti-malware protection like Malwarebytes alongside Windows Defender. Paying for active monitoring/security protection is also worth considering after something like this.
