My little brother downloaded a trojan I don’t know how long ago, I found out when I realized my malware bytes was gone for some reason, and when I got it back, I had 36 files sent to quarantine after the first scan! He tried downloading a mod for something, he is still afraid to tell me the truth. The hackers have been sending messages on steam and instagram, but I have 2FA on all of those and I get login alerts, what’s the point if they got through all of these?? What can I do besides changing my passwords?

    Likely the same way LTT got hacked earlier this year; someone in the company downloaded a disguised piece of malware, which took about 30 seconds to steal all the session tokens in their web browser. Put simply, a session token is basically a key card that grants your computer access to your account when asked, provided that you haven’t hit log out, which invalidates it and then requires your password again.
