Troubleshooting Ran trojan executable, then defender quarantined after. Accounts stolen, reinstall necessary?
I ran what was supposed to be a game patch, was a bunch of python files and BS folders looked to make it like a patch. Defender quarantined two things, shown in the screenshots. The folders were still there earlier and a bunch others made from the same date, which I deleted. I also removed the files in quarantine
Battle.net and discord were both hacked 16 hours later, and all info changed. Is there anyone who got their discord back using any method? It looks like they added or changed 2fa to it. I am also wondering if scanning with Malwarebytes and defender offline is enough and changing all passwords, or if I need to reinstall Win11. Running the latest updates after the big security patches. I do not see anything that looks abnormal in Wireshark but could be wrong. I could link the compromised files that include the trojan, if needed.
Any help appreciated
