  • So no one has posted this. I work cyber security blue team.

    It’s a cookie stealing attack and really common right now. Just google cookie stealing and MFA and you will find tons of articles on it.

    You know how you don’t need 2 factor to login once you’ve done it once? Cookies. Password stealers are grabbing full profile data to pretend they are your browser.

    2nd. Netsupport is not a trojan per se (if that is what you have), but it is very common tactic right now to get someone on the phone or chat (typically via a fake invoice charging a bunch of money, or a fake AV chome popup) and trick them into installing the remote access software.

    Side note - are you really sure the virus is gone?

    I work in cyber security (detection & response…literally poking at phishing emails, malware files, etc).

    If I got comped bad enough to steal account passwords (meaning your browser cookies stolen, likely) I wouldn’t trust anything less than a full windows reinstall.

    And I do this stuff for a living. For over a decade now.

    Antivirus sucks at cleaning up after a compromise.
