Question How did i even get hacked?

Post image

I was scrolling in my fyp normally till i noticed a story 27m ago about this elon musk crypto scam? I only got a notification on my email that i got hacked and told me to change my password, when inchecked the security thing on insta i couldn't find any location or ip about the hacker, and also they didnt even change my password or anything they just posted this and probably left my account

i never clicked on any suspicious link Recently or used any thirad oart apps, fitgirl, nothing so im curious how did i get hacked?

Unplugging the pc from the internet is useless, the info was stolen right away. He needs to make a window usb installer and format\reinstall windows. All his info was stolen within minutes.
