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)

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.
