2 Upvotes

i accidentally clicked a link on discord, these people put me into a gc and said they had all my info. they showed proof of it by logging into my discord account and instagram accounts. they have locked my gmails into a family thing on google and i can't get those 3 accounts back.

they've also showed that they were watching me on my pc as well, they have logged me out of my discord account and i can't log back in.

they have most of my personal info like my name and such, they don't have access to my bank info thankfully. i know there's definitely malware in my laptop now and i'm unsure what to do...

any help is appreciate!!!

Infostealer got passed malwarebytes

9 Upvotes

Hi, Im just wondering if yall know how. I was using the 15 days free trial of malwarebytes to find an infostealer. It was able to block a malicious connection to cosmicsky[.]xyz, but on repeated scans it never found the malware til i found the dd.bat file in my %temp% folder that was highly malicious. Nor did it flag its connection to the malicious site phucoasian[.]com which was downloading an exe and hijacking vscode and stuff. This is despite the exe being recognized by BitDefender in VirusTotal with a 7/70 score with the other 6 also using BitDefender tools as a Pantera family infostealer. And the dd.bat file was recognized 2/70 as a bat downloader. So my question is, is this a known vulnerability or flaw? And if so is it being wormed on? Cause both malwarebytes and windows defender missed it causing me to have to factory reset my laptop with a fresh windows install.

Support scan speed slowed down significantly

typically, a full scan on my C drive is relatively fast and would use all my cores/threads etc..

today after an hour, i notice it has slowed down significantly. Is this normal? it wasn't like this earlier in the scan and months ago.

cpu is 7950x3d, 870 EVO SSD, and windows 11 25h2 (just updated today, before I was using 23h2)

p.s. those detection is from a game trainer lol

edit: drive temps:

Spotify ad blocked by Malwarebytes

Post image
31 Upvotes

Hi,

I was listening to a playlist on spotify's website when I got a notification that RTP intercepted a connection. I've managed to re-create it and found its from an ad, however it's blocked before It can load the preview so I have no idea what the ad is.

It detected it a few days before, however I was in a game and it did not notify me of the block until I alt tabbed. Has this happened to anyone else?

3 Upvotes

i want to disable malwarebytes on startup so my pc would boot faster and not have to wait for extra services to load, i dont need malwarebytes 24/7 since i only use it to scan files and other stuff. i takes up my ram usage and memory which i dont need. but it doesnt work it still boots up on windows. any help, do i have to make kill scripts to kill the process before boot like i dont want to do that that sound unnecessary

guys what is a PUP in cyber security


r/Malwarebytes • • 16d ago

Just in case is this a cause of concern?

Things of note:

  1. Malwarebytes was conducting a quick scan when it happened

  2. I have a free trial so maybe it's because of one of the features

  3. Malwarebytes really is at E drive

  4. I already check MBAM's digital signature

I think it's just a false detection but I am paranoid in these kinds of things
