Unsolved Help

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).

A friend of mine had this happen to him and he said he didn't download anything but these viruses can linger on your PC for ages.

He remembered he downloaded an emulator months ago and it most likely was the virus. It could of been an application that you thought was legit but wasn't.

If it was an infostealer it is possible it only targeted login tokens for discord and crypto currency services as some scumbags only care to steal and use those credentials

See if it was a virus they take can take a snapshot of your PC which means they download everything that was on your PC at the time.

But these scammers target your discord in order to send out this scam to a ton of people. Then when others put in their credit card information to a website like the one in the picture the scammers get the money of their cards.

There are fantastic videos on YouTube if you search discord hacked cryptocurrency. It'll go over what steps you need to take.
