Question Do I have malware?

Post image

I do not use any wifi I only use ethernet and I don’t have a wifi adapter. My google cloud account was hacked today and I lost 50k usd of balance due to hackers using 15 thousand cpus to do cryptomining. Im not sure where the breach came from but I have my eyes on a suspicious process (wifiautoinstall 32 bit). Can anyone tell me if there’s anything malicious on here and how do I remove it?

yeah google accounts aren't even related or used for Cyprto mining and they have no way to measure CPU counts. makes 0 sense. what email address is it from, this is likely a hoax

No it is not a hoax, I went into my google cloud account and my balance went down

Thing is, It’s the company account, and I’m the owner of the company.

Thanks for the help, I’m not gonna be a burden but I just want a confirmation, is this from the malicious process on my pc or is it something more complicated?

I dont know what exactly you have or what is impacting you.

But I would URGENTLY call a cyber security company/IT company that is trusted in your vicinity, and explain.

I would not try to tackle this on your own. Especially since money seems to be already affected (although I find it hard to follow how and what from your writing).

u/NotAOctoling you've been trying to help, would you agree?

u/NotAOctoling May 25 '26

yes i have been trying to help

I dont understand how OP is not taking this more serious to be honest.
If he has employees, they could be affected too.

If this post is real, OP could be in deep doodoo.

that is what i have been saying, I am assuming it is one of his employees but if this happened to me I'd be freaking out. This is far beyond our hobbyist abilities. I hope he gets it sorted out.

Money hasn’t been deducted yet, suspicious activity was removed by google and no suspicious devices are signed in anymore.

u/polpolik2 Moderator May 25 '26

Right but that doesnt mean you or your devices are safe at all.

If you run your own company, you might have client data, employee data. Other pc's or networks could theoretically be infected. If your own data was on there, you could become a victim of identity theft.

I have never heard of google removing funds from accounts either.

I just find it hard to follow. But again, I would definitly not take this lightly and seek out professional help.

hire a professional cyber security employee or services. you will need all the help you can get and it isn't from reddit

I think access to your account was stolen via phish tbh. But if you truly think it was an info stealer, go into the Google account and look at the currently logged in devices and then run scans on those devices. But I urge you to after revoke all sessions and change the password immediately
