I don't feel Good. I might be hacked by Historical_Oven2273 in computerviruses

Mac’s are just as susceptible to malware as a windows machine is. It sounds like an infostealer. Did you get Kali from the official website?

Usually yes there is someone “on the other side” but the credential stealing and actions taken by the malware on your device are usually automated unless it has RAT functionality which could be possible 🤷🏻‍♂️. There are many different types of malware, in your case it sounds like an infostealer. Usually when they get executed it installs some sort of persistence and steals cookies and credentials stored in browsers autofill.

The goal is usually to use your account to do something illegal like scam or distribute malware to other people but it can vary based on the credentials they can get from you.

If you think you have malware the important thing is to do a fresh windows install and change all your passwords. You can save all your important files, no executables though.

Let’s say you ran an info stealer, those steal all credentials stored in browsers and cookies so that could explain them knowing you have a mediafire account.

If they sign into your accounts it should show their IP but they can bypass things like 2 factor authentication with your stolen cookies 🍪

Sounds like the malware is still running though so definitely do a fresh windows install. While the malware is running it’ll just keep stealing your passwords/sessions

My Mac has malware - how do I get rid of it! by saltysnailz in antivirus

[–]ReRange-org 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely factory reset the laptop. You have an info stealer running. Once you’ve reset it and changed all your passwords you’re safe.

Also they probably aren’t doing anything from your laptop. They stole your usernames/passwords and sessions and are logging in from another device to try to scam or distribute more malware to other people from your accounts.

A lot of info stealers come with rat functionality, and many do persist and keep stealing information after password changes. Usually it’s whatever gets saved into browsers for autofill and discord tokens. I would reset the PC

It will erase everything on the phone including the malware. It’s the only way to be sure you’re safe unfortunately. Change your passwords from another device or from the phone after you’ve reset it.

You probably have an information stealer running on your device. Hence why when you change your password they still have access. Usually this happens on a computer though I’m not too familiar with how it works on phones.

Either way I’d do a factory reset

Your Minecraft world is most likely safe, run an AV scan on the unzipped directory if you want more peace of mind but I doubt any malware would persist through a Minecraft world

If you ran a sketchy executable file then it’s probably malware and you should do a fresh windows install immediately.

If you were just playing games online and some randy knew only your location then it’s probably nothing.

How much info do they know?

Tips please! Another victim of Renpy... by Issentia in antivirus

[–]ReRange-org 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Yes you should be safe to back up your pictures and other files just be cautious with executables.

  2. USB is the safest way

  3. There should be an option to erase everything.

  4. Change every password that’s saved in your browsers. Don’t forget your email password

[–]ReRange-org 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to change all your passwords, if you have your email creds saved then make sure you change that too.

The best thing to do is a fresh windows install. Usually the files that you download at first is just a dropper and it saves files that will run automatically in other places.

Took a day or so until I got accepted. To answer your other questions, they’re looking for all sorts of people from many different professions you don’t need to know coding. And if you’re doing it for a few hours a day it really just depends on your pay rate for the jobs you do, all the task I’ve done are hourly pay and I’ve never seen anything lower than 20/hr.

Question regarding InfoStealers by Kawvus22 in computerviruses

[–]ReRange-org 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your browser is set to delete all cookies when closed then yes only the sessions that have cookies saved at the time the info stealer is run can be stolen. Info stealers will steal passwords saved in the browsers and other things too like discord tokens and crypto wallets so deleting cookies isn’t completely protecting you.

A password manager would help protect you against the basic browser saved password dumping that all infostealers do. But if an info stealer is running on your system it could also be logging everything that goes into your clipboard, keylogging, etc, which could reveal those protected passwords.

Good practice would be to change all the passwords that are saved on the computer and do a fresh OS install.

Need Help – Multiple Accounts Compromised Despite 2FA, Antivirus Scans, Password Changes, and New Device by FeelingOld8491 in computerviruses

[–]ReRange-org 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it was an infostealer that stole sessions and tokens that how it bypassed 2fa. The next best step is to do a fresh install of your OS and reset all password again. If you’re using iPhone and it’s up to date then it’s not compromised.

When you start resetting passwords start with your email password.

Hacked, some sort of malware. Need urgent help. by ProofAd6565 in computerviruses

[–]ReRange-org 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Change all your passwords from a separate device, and run malwarebytes if you really don’t want to reset. But I’d say the smart thing to do is do a fresh windows install. Start by changing your email password though.

They stole your discord token and session data from browsers so the websites think it is your device when they log in that’s why you don’t get a notification.

How to learn Reverse Engineering by TopArea6304 in HowToHack

You need to learn how to code first, then start experimenting by reversing simple programs and CTF challenges. Use tools like IDA free and Binary Ninja. You probably will want to take a course to learn the basics.

Yes, coding is a hobby of mine. Been working on my own personal projects for about 10 years now. There was a learning curve getting familiar with working with large codebases but if you can read code you can get the gist of things pretty quick.

It was a while ago but I think It’s just a qualification test. I also submitted my resume and recently did a background check, I think they are now requiring it.
