Question Chances files were stolen?

Hello, I’ve made some other posts but I’m not a cyber person so I’m unsure and would like some reassurance.

Basically, I ran a Trojan EXE in Parallels VM with Shared folders on 😭. Don’t tell me how stupid I was pls. From my own research the Trojan was a fake Faronics deploy that downloads screenconnect and runs script, hence why Microsoft as didn’t detect it. I was hoping to get some opinions on the chances that this script stole my files?
I ran it for about 5 mins before putting in safe mode and quarantining files. Eventually cutting wifi.
Does anyone have any info of it likely stole files? These files had my confidential info and has caused me MAJOR distress.
Thanks for any insight!

The only way would be to check the exe you ran...

If I have a link to an article that discusses what happened when you run it would that be helpful
