I thought I had this mostly handled so I didn't want to post anything but seems the problem has come back and is being super annoying... sigh...
So beginning of the month I was hacked. They posed as a discord friend and was pretty convincing, tricked me into downloading a 'game' they made and it turned out to be a hacking tool. So they got my main email and just started taking EVERYTHING connected to it. Discord, other email account, xbox account, etc. But it was also connected to my firefox account and so they had access to all my passwords.. ugh..
I've been sick most of this month and stressed from it. Spent two weeks waiting on something from microsoft before giving up and just trying to contact them directly, like... a person and not the stupid 'self-helper' tool that couldn't do squat cuz the hacker added an authenticater to my account and the tool was like 'can't help you bro'.
Thankfully I have some superb friends on my discord, made an alt account to stay in contact otherwise I'd still be a crying mess, but they were able to get a support agent for me. They've emailed me about looking into my email being hacked, no eta yet but they're looking into it. Which is great.. Until today...
I thought the hacker was done, moved on but nope... Get a text in Turkish this morning about my Twitch code and... now my Twitch is gone, they're on my instagram talking to my friends to get in contact with me and they locked my steam account..
This FUCKER.
Like wtf!? Leave me alone, you took my email.. I'm getting it back and NO I'm not paying you to get it back you slimy scumbag.
So far the friend they contacted on instagram contacted me, said it was super sus and it really was with the messages they sent me so they trolled them a bit. Another friend made a fake discord account posing as me to talk to them and learned that this idiot can't get back onto my main discord account cuz the 2fa is on, HAH. Friend also said they sound young and frustrated, GOOD! Fuck 'em for being a piece of shit.
But yeah.. Been dealing with this all month and now it's mostly just the waiting game for Microsoft Support to look into it. Same with getting my steam account unlocked so yeah.. This has been my month of fun. Was literally just starting to feel better from this awful almost 4 week sickness and then bam... they're back to bother me.
Least I can give a warning about this new scam but they pose as a discord friend, who is already hacked, ask you to try their game, and send a link that you then download and the download does nothing. It's some kind of hacking tool that gets past everything.. my virus scan didn't even pick it up. Might be too new.
I've never been hacked like this before, but if something seems sus then just turn your computer off or unplug the internet right away. Don't be me panicking while they get away with everything... Then get your computer completely wiped and hope they didn't get into anything important. Be quick on the 'no this wasn't me who did this' sort of thing, could save you the headache down the line.. =3=
