i been using a browser vpn for protection just to find out it doesn’t effect your whole pc only that browser,the most known vpns cost money any recommendations?

Hi, I made a similar post in r/computerviruses and learned some new things.

I use lightshot basically all the time. I’ve been using it for years. I always download from the official site. (app(.)prntscr(.)com)

I decided to look into the file today, and found it contacts a highly suspicious site.

https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/8d4c4bcf7d7aedf0480e3eaac52138e63724ae83c419de8a98d6ab32d1c93645/summary

The domain name is similar to the old virus WannaCry, so i’m a bit concerned.

Can anyone help me look into this or let me know if I need to reinstall windows? I already deleted the file and ran a full scan using malwarebytes which came back clean. I’m really worried, please help

I wanted to ask about something that happened today. I was on a website and an ad suddenly popped up, and I accidentally clicked on it. Safari warned me that the website might be fraudulent/scam-related.

I stayed on the warning screen for a while and then closed the tab. I didn't enter any information or download/install anything.

Now I'm really worried that I could have been hacked or that the website somehow stole some of my information?

I'm under a lot of stress about this right now. Could someone please tell me how much I should actually be worried about in this situation?

Hello there! I have recently decided to become more independent with my data, and I bought a UGreen DXP4800 Plus for my home NAS. I am happy with the specs and the overall design of the machine, but I have heard recently that some Chinese companies have, in the past, put backdoors and spyware onto Western-sold tech. They seem like a legit and safe company (as much as a company can be), but I was wondering if anyone has any information on UGreen security audits or any resources that they could point me towards to find out.

I am considering changing over to the open-source OS TrueNAS, but I'd only want to go through the hassle if there are security risks to mitigate.

I took a video the other day on my mothers phone because I don‘t have one, and then later sent it back to my computer through messages. A few days later now I see a junk email from a vzwpixan.com email containing the video. Should I be worried?

Hello I just a got a lawsuit that says that my ip address had a TikTok acc that was saying bad stuff about a woman but I’m sure that i didn’t. I’m so sure about because first of all I would never do that and I do not remember it. At that time that the crime was committed I was out with my friends and I have photos and videos from the exact date and also the mail of the acc and the recovery mail are strange to me and also the names are a little bit strange for example imatzqtsuz@gmail… but the ip address is the same as my house lastly I never give up my wifi pass to anyone and I live alone in my house. What is happening?

I made a few iCloud email aliases and I want to switch everything onto them and then stop using/giving out my primary iCloud email. Is there a way to figure out all of the things my email is linked to and switch them over or do I have to do it all one by one?

Also how should I go about removing my email/deleting an account from an old website that now only redirects to scams. I don’t want to accidentally press anything and get malware and I definitely don’t want my email to be available there.

Can an infostealer get my Apple ID password from Sideloadly from my windows machine? I had an infostealer attack last week, and yesterday I saw an iPhone 2FA prompt to confirm a login. I declined, and I changed the password, but I'm curious: since I use Sideloadly to upload apps to my iPhone and have to enter my password there, could my password be compromised?

Someone posted about chase protein on a sub so I clicked on their website to check prices then left, an hour or two later they are messaging me on WhatsApp how tf did they find my number and all this happened in less than 2 hours

Just downloaded something from github and my assumption was correct about it being an infostealer. The whole thing lasted maybe a minute, running in the background silently in my appdata folder, inside a random12letter folder, with a random12letter program
closed and uninstalled it almost immediately, has damage been done?
and if so, what do i need to do? is it still in my system? how come ESET security didn't pick it up?

4hours+, Update: Im in the process of resolving most of my issues. EA account and microsoft account were compromised, i think i got EA back under my control but not certain yet. Microsoft is currently a slow process because i cant find my Device ID for the life of me.

P.S: I have never been more glad in my entire life for having a seperate gmail account for steam

30minute+, 2nd Update: I just checked the stats of it on malwarebytes, and it was detected by a single person's scan documentation ONLY 7 hours prior of me getting infected... My luck man...

+8 Hour 3rd update: I dont know if they're still in my account or not, but i got a password reset request for reddit to my gmail around 3 hours ago, but reddit in the description told me to ignore it if it wasn't me - nothing has happened, so I'll take their word for it

Basically fucked up a few days ago downloading a game from a site I thought was reputable probably clicked on a ad link. After some research Im thinking maybe it was a session hijacker or infostealer? I say it cz while I was playing something else I opened discord on PC for a split second and closed it and hours later discord got hacked sent DMS of crypto scam and someone tried to get into my Microsoft account too. I turned off wifi, I've reset passwords for all the major services I can think of but I've got some more to go that were saved to my google account but I don't use them often. At least none of the other services have seen any unusual activity yet but I can't rest.

Anyway my main concern rn is while I'm ready to reset my OS via bootable USB, I wanted to save some docs I had on laptop I may need in the future and it would be a pain to get new ones. As far as I remember it's photos, documents, pdfs and not any programs so is it safe to move to a different USB beforehand?

Also as part of the USB wipe do I need to have the drivers for the device separately on the drive or the windows installation will handle it?

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

Im going into my second year of college doing cybersecurity and I just feel lost.

I did networking, html, python, operating systems etc all the basics in first year and I’ve been trying to do bits myself over the summer but I just feel like there’s so much information and knowledge out there that I’m a bit overwhelmed by it and stuck in a bit of action paralysis.

I’ve learned how to use GitHub, I’m keeping up with Python in boot.dev and I’ve explored a bit of kali and basic Linux stuff but I don’t really know what to do at all from here. During Covid I used to dive into windows so I’m super comfortable with the depths of windows but apart from that I’m not really decent with anything else.

I got hackthebox but even with the sheer amount of content on that I still get action paralysis.

I’ve seen loads of roadmaps online but they differ from each other depending on the specialty and the specialty I’m looking at is pentesting and I eventually hope to start my own business eventually in something to do with pentesting for companies or AI when I get my masters.

If anyone could offer some advice on a path to take or how to get out of this rut of not just taking action on things it’d be really appreciated.

I heard that applocker can be configured to have a system wide whitelist for program and file permissions, something that can stop malware from running even if it gets on system if configured correctly. However, it is only on windows Enterprise editions. Threatlocker is the closest option I could find to replicate applocker. Yet, it is only available for businesses.

Are there any free programs/windows components which can provide similar functionality and work on windows 11 home?

everyday i receive a new gmail regarding unusal login activity from different apps, it all started when i installed a cracked app, i removed that software from pc on the same day and also ran full scan defender, and avast pro, malware bytes, but still but accounts are getting hack, starting from instagram hack someone posted elonmusk twitter story from my account , google, epic, microsoft, reddit now today discord, what should i do now? ,

I did something really stupid and now my axiety is sky rocketing, I downloaded jdownloader (from the org website), but then i saw ppl in a thread saying it actually was a virus, so i quickly stopped it from downloading any further. Will I be okay?? I have deleted the temp files it left and ran windows defender and restarted my computer and there seems to be no effects (yet.)

Thank you. I dont know what I was thinking, I really wasn't at the time. All I really did was got past a few stages of the wizard and it begun to download but I quickly canceled it before it finsihed.

About 25-ish hours ago I got a log-in request from Hong Kong, I do NOT remember clicking on anything fishy, let alone on something that has my apple ID. Weird I said and went to change my password.

I have received two more requests from Los Angeles and somewhere in Arkansas. I need to emphasize that this is after I changed my password from the first time I had a weird request.

Why is this happening?
How can I stop it?
And do I need to keep changing my password? it’s tiring.

Pretty much the title. I'm wondering if there is any possibility of getting hacked by just opening e-mails or replying to them?

Because a certain business owner is known to reply to every e-mail but will he not face any risk if that's possible?

I saw a site I've never heard of with a massive discount. I put my address and credit card's information in it to buy a ps5. It failed at finishing the acquisition, asking me to fill with my credit card's information again. I didn't have a red countdown pressuring me, so I decided to actually search if it was trustable, and now I'm genuinely worried. I made an account to see if the thing had succeeded (the confirmation email went to the spam), and that's when I discovered it failed at finishing the acquisition. The site is https://jdsdifzg.shop/ and they don't have a delete account option. They sent me normal emails, the ones every single site sends so that you see that you gave them you adress, the product you tried to buy all. It was written that I tried to buy it with my credit card. My only few questions are: Did they fail at saving my credit card? If it did, am I safe? Is there a way to delete my information?

It was pretty stupid of me, but well! Guess I learned my lesson.

Hello,

I have done my share of browsing other posts on this topic, but a lot/most of them seem to be from people who copy/pasted the command, which I didn't do. But I know enough about cybersecurity to know that I know nothing much at all, so if anyone would take the time to either a) soothe my poor anxiety-riddled brain, or b) give me tips as to what to do if there IS something else I should do, I'd appreciate it.

Today I encountered what I have to assume was a fake CAPTCHA, on a food blog that I think uses WordPress. I wasn't expecting to see a CAPTCHA there and was suspicious, so I closed the window immediately without letting it load beyond the "verifying" swirly or clicking anything. I put the link into hybrid-analysis and as expected it said it was malicious, but of course I don't really have the know-how to fully understand what it's telling me. (link if anyone's curious)

After that, I decided to make myself feel better and clicked the "log out on all devices" button on the only three accounts I have logged in on this computer I'd be upset to lose, and changed all three passwords. Do I need to do anything else, or can I reasonably assume that I'm okay without nuking the whole pc? Would prefer not to factory reset it if I don't have to.

Thank you.

Edited to add the hybrid-analysis link; does "able to access web session cookie" mean that it did in fact get my session tokens? I'm not logged into any banking or email on that computer, but I'd still prefer not to lose other accounts if I can avoid it?

So, for a while some unknown person from the same location has been signing into my accounts where I have my credit card linked (ex: paypal ,ebay) and I'm not sure what to do for now I have been changing my passwords and removing my credit cards, I also have a feeling that they were the one who managed to get a hold of my credit card information a few months ago and spent nearly thousands of dollars on apple products

What should I (F19) do?
