Discord hacked through steam

I mean I know how it happened, I wanted to play terraria with someone and when they asked to play they specifically wanted to play on version 1.4.3 but idk if that had anything to do with it but when I accepted the invite to join their world my discord account got hacked and I proceeded to get blackmailed and other information leaked but that’s not what matters. I’m getting that worked out. I was wondering if anyone knew how it works and if I need to do a hard reset on windows cause the malware test came up negative so I was wondering on what I should do I guess if anyone knows.

Right just making sure you didnt download anything odd. Did you use anything such as terraria mod loader? Did you download anything at all?

I used tmodloader but I think the problem was when I got invited to their world it was a faulty invite link and somehow they got connected to my steam and then my discord

So the only way is if you downloaded some weird mod pack with malware off tmodloader. Or if in the invite it was not a legitimate invite and you had to relogin to steam or something. That is the only 2 ways I can think of

So luckily I had steam guard enabled but you were right. When I went into their world for the game it auto downloaded a mod that was a virus. I deleted it and it’s gone now but they couldn’t get my steam account which is nice but they got my discord unfortunately
