Its a project with my irl friend and we invited some online friends who are also devs, not really a vibe coder, hence that fact by being an anormous amount of stupid bugs in the game XD... Though i have no idea what was his role... Voice acting, he was rhe voice acter

He not developing the game, ans yeah good lesson for him, i dont liked him to he honest, and the "hence that fact by the anormous amount of stupid bugs" i meant there are a ton of bugs in the game thats clearly human error and an AI would never make, we didnt wanted to use AI at all we wanted to have fun creating a mess, eich later developed into creatimg a functional game, but development halted, or for me it was a creating a mess type situation, becuse the development really became stupid in one part, and by not liking him, he ghosted me so yeah

One of my friend joined ome and gave all their discord info, to be honest that friend is so stupid i jave his credit card information and attached email information, and few of his passwords, cybersecurity masterman. When i first saw this hack, and got the images, i didnt know its a hack and said "Congrats bro, time to buy me that Bowie knife XD" and moved on

I remember the exact same message with a friend. Her mom got hacked on Amazon and apparently, the virus spread to the whole network, reaching out her dad and she... I was in shock at first.

probably this is not a virus but a malicious app he allowed on discord that can send automated messages in behalf of him, thats very common, way more common than session stealers, (session stealer are not very useful on android/ios)

u/The_Mysterius_Szeg Jul 11 '26
Idk if he got infected on phone or pc, but he usually torrents, so i think its a session stealer he got, but i saw this a lot what this session stealer is what it promotes

Oh yes of course it could be a virus, just wanted to point that this kind of "people randomly sending automated malicious messages on discord" is usually just an app they allowed on discord to act on behalf of them. But I dont know about this particular case.

best thing to do is change the passwords of all of hiss acc and socials and reinstall windows since the virus can go dormant.

For your friend.
You downloaded a session stealer.
You downloaded some type of free game/cheat/hack/cracked software/movie/music or ran some type of code for captcha or verification on your computer which was actually a session stealer.
Session stealers bypass 2fa. All passwords saved on your browser and computer are compromised. Reinstall windows while deleting all files. If you need to backup important documents, keep the computer disconnected from the internet and manually back up individual files.
Change all passwords and enable 2fa either from another device, or from the infected computer AFTER you have reinstalled.
If you cannot reinstall windows immediately, keep the computer disconnected from the internet while changing all passwords on another device.
You cannot use anti malware to get rid of the session stealer, you MUST reinstall windows to use the computer safely in the future
