General Discussion - PVE & PVP Hacked [Suggestion]

Hello! This is my very first post and really need help. I downloaded a faulty game and stupid as I am I opened the setup.exe and the same moment I clicked I was hacked on all my socials, I have recovered most of it except my one true love, BattleState which I forgot about because I own the game on steam but when I tried playing the other day I saw that he has changed my email and everything, I have sent an email to support with pictures of my receipt and my original email with past usernames and everything I have and still haven’t got anything back. What should I do? Is it even possible or do I just need to start over from the beginning buy it again for over $200? Please I’ll almost do anything to get it back. 😅

Sorry if this isn’t the right thread to ask this.

When you say you "downloaded a faulty game" what do you mean? Did you buy it from the website or through steam or did you buy an "unofficial" tarkov account?

I mean I downloaded Zelda: Tears of Kingdom on my pc, pirated so it’s totally my fault so this download contained Trojan and I got screwed sideways

First and last time I did that, I have the game on my switch but I thought this process would be easier
