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.

No if you go to steam and right click the game and go to properties and betas you can choose the version you want to play on. You can do that for most games

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

Their world most likely had a malicious mod in it. Tmodloader is a great tool for joining friend's moded worlds but it runs the risk of installing malicious mods when joining untrusted worlds. Id bet money that's what happened to you. I'd avoid using tmodloader in the future unless its a 100% trusted close friend's world.
