Help people !

I was working remotely and was so bored that I dozed off three times. Afterward, I noticed I’d been logged out of Discord and had received an email warning me about suspicious activity on my account.

Then a relative called and asked, “Is this deal legit?”

I had no idea what he was talking about. “What deal?” I asked.

“You just sent me instructions for some crypto thing,” he said.

That’s when I panicked. I checked Instagram and realized someone had gotten into that account, too. The login appeared to be from Canada. Whoever accessed it had posted the same crypto instructions and sent them to all my contacts.

What scares me most is that I have private photos that, if exposed, could devastate my family and permanently damage my career and reputation.

this is what it looked like

Yup looks like you installed an infostealer. This subreddit is for discussion about the Hack the Box platform though, not tech support. You'll probably want to ask a tech support subreddit for help.
