I changed my PayPal password and thought that was the end of it, but later in the day when trying to log into Amazon I learned that had been compromised too. I then contacted Best Buy support chat and successfully got the order cancelled to get a jumpstart on the refund process instead of waiting on just PayPal to resolve things My number was tied to the order probably because it's tied to my PayPal so when I called Best Buy it told me about the order that was tied to my number which was a MacBook, but got nothing else as the Best Buy location for the pick-up was closed. I of course confirmed that it was not me, and I soon after got in contact with Best Buy. PayPal sent me a text alert early morning yesterday warning of suspicious activity and asked me to confirm an order for over $2000 placed at Best Buy. Yesterday morning (the 12th) I had some accounts compromised: 3 Google accounts, my PayPal, and my Amazon. Third thing: I can't 100% confirm this was because of a malicious Afterburner download, but it's my best guess based on the information I have Second thing: Use MFA (Multifactor Authentication) on everything as this will prevent the majority of instances of an account being compromised. And still keep the 1st point in mindįirst thing: This applies to any software of course, always download from official sources or trusted 3rd parties, don't blindly trust the first links to pop-up. As far as I know this should resolve the issue, but if you have any other suggestions please comment themĮdit for more visibility: Use uBlock Origin! It'll get rid of ads like this (whitelist anyone you want to support or consider contributing money directly, but be careful with who/what you whitelist). All storage drives installed on the infected PC (especially the OS drive), and any storage like flash drives connected to the PC since infection need to be wiped and your OS reinstalled (don't try creating an OS installer on your infected PC, if you don't have one do it on a known good device).

It's worth scanning any other computers on your network just in case.

Edit 2: If you've also fell for this, you need to disconnect the infected computer from your network and immediately change all your passwords on a known good device and make sure 2FA/MFA is enabled on everything you can.
