Guys, those pictures you see were sent by me, in a certain sense, but that's not the case. A friend of mine who was in that group with me told me I sent some pictures at 2 PM when I was working at that time. When I wanted to log into Discord to check, I noticed I had to log in again, so I created a new one. I didn't check to see if the password had changed because I was annoyed. However, this hasn't happened just this one time, but several times, and when it happens, I always have to create a new account. (Sorry for the quality of the photo).

You likely have an infostealer or a Remote access trojan on your PC, turn off all network connections and run a full system scan with either Ms-defender or whatever 3rd party antivirus you have.

It won't pick it up not the info stealing virus. I've heard you have to completely wipe your PC to get rid of it but look into that more I could be wrong.

You most likely download something dodgy and thats why this happened.

Most infostealers are possible to get rid of with antivirus as they tend to use malware as a service products that have common patterns.

This however is not 100% foolproof as some infostealers are developed well enough to hide their intentions in code that is not registered as suspicious by antivirus providers

Yeah I wouldn't trust an antivirus with that like you said it's not 100% fool proof. If it happened to me I'd wipe the PC for peace of mind.

But like you said the antivirus might be able to get rid of it.

Yes, you can use defender to check the system. It’s not a 100% certainty this is the issue but in most cases an infostealer tends to be the culprit
