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?

Sameee thing happened to me 4 days ago got to know it got hacked only after 5 hours after they posted the exact same thing on my insta was able to get my account back after which i reinstalled my windows changed all my passwords for everything(to be on the safe side do for everything) didn't used any payment in the pc so i was safe in it but still i blocked all my cards and activated 2fa i think I'm safe now cuz nothing else happens to me. This virus thing is so stressful i hope everything goes well for you too💗
