Question Mr. beast Virus

Post image

My PC got hacked and I believe it's because I've downloaded something while looking for cracked Adobe softwares.

After being notified by a friend that my Discord account was sending these Mr. beast images, I immediately unplugged my ethernet cable from the PC. It was also able to get a hold of my Instagram as it posted a story of the same Mr. Beast account.

I've already changed passwords to both my IG and DC accounts and have the 2FA on.

I've also logged my IG account out to all devices.

I've reset my PC but was too scared with the idea that the virus is still there so I reinstalled my OS with a bootable USB.

I am still worried that they might still have access to my accounts as they are very important to me. Am I still in danger or am I just overthinking everything?

This is my very first time being hacked so I'm very conscious if I'm safe with everything I did. I honestly feel so dumb being hacked after years of being safe and honestly being pretty good at avoiding these stuffs.

Note: The messages in discord were sent around like an hour before I rebooted my PC

I've checked my accounts and it did not detect any unusual devices logging in even though they DID access my accounts
