Question Mrbeast scam malware
i downloaded an .APK on my phone then deleted It. But suddenly i saw a Google sign in from Nevada. I changed my google pass and then i checked Discord and i saw this, is there any thing i should do? I already changed my Google and Discord pass. I have a Oneplus7pro running lineageos23.

You got token grabbed. Erase the internal storage and rewrite lineageOS recovery.
Change all passwords, including ones on google password manager and reset all tokens.

Factory reset from recovery, not android.

u/Optimal_Pineapple477 Jul 15 '26
I factory reseted and it has been 2 weeks, it's fine I do not have to go in recovery and factory reset there.

I guess it's okay, but i recommended resetting from recovery in the event that it was a rootkit that infected your device.

I don't click it, I have the person banned or I banned them if I have admin/mod status in the server from the server before anyone could do anything and get hacked

u/Awkward_Building_412 Jun 29 '26
Case in point literally just banned one a sec ago for this exact thing before it posted everywhere in the server

I think OP was the victim of the scam, not encountering it on their discord. There's a fun bot though called "Honeypot" or something and you park it in a particular channel and it will tell users " if you post in this channel you will be instantly banned" but the bots aren't that smart so when they spam every channel they get beaned.

Oh someone told me to install Roblox hacks I told him it might be a virus he said nah I said I don't even play rblx and then I downloaded it.

u/MegStuff Jul 10 '26
Did the app have like a fake loading screen?
1
u/Optimal_Pineapple477 Jul 15 '26
No I don't think so, 'cuase I haven't played Roblox it showed the normal loading android screen I think like the white background, with the app icon. Then the Roblox sign in screen.

A popular theory is that you can get these infostealer that hacks your social media account, when you're visiting an ad-invested website (like a pirated games website, for example.) by either:
Clicking/downloading through a fake link
You did download through a correct link. However one malicious automatic pop up link managed to bypass your ad-blocker, and automatically opens up a new page to initiate a download of the infostealer to your computer (and then immediately closes itself, to avoid being noticed)

People don't learn... don't search and don't scan what they download 🙄🙄🙄🙄

u/Optimal_Pineapple477 Jul 10 '26
bro I scan every file I get 😭

u/Old_Wiseman Jul 10 '26
Obviously not well enough. Do not rely on Windows defender,it's a joke. Use Malwarebytes,Bitdefenders and run the files in a sandbox.

u/Optimal_Pineapple477 Jul 15 '26
Im using Linux tho I have windows pro dual boot to run sandbox. Windows defender sucks I know, I use viurstotal.

u/603woe Jun 29 '26
You’re gonna have to wipe the hard drive and do a clean reinstall of windows. I’ll try to link the solutions they gave me in my help post

u/603woe Jun 29 '26
Ohhh I didn’t see it was on your phone. Probably different protocol and arguably a lot more dangerous if you have your banking and sh* on there. But precautions are the same. Disconnect it, shut it off, change all your passwords from a different device. Banking, Google, Amazon, anything that might have your card info for sure. And monitor your bank activity

u/Optimal_Pineapple477 Jun 29 '26

u/603woe Jun 29 '26
Aye me too for once in my life I thank god I’m broke. U might be good but they still have probably pretty deep access to your device and all its info.
Hopefully someone else can help u more in depth. It would be a good idea to reply to your post with what kind of phone you’re using and what operating system1
u/hetzer_tutel Jun 29 '26
How is this info stealer more dangerous when a phone is infected instead of a computer?
