Hi there,
I've been struggling with some hackers after I clicked a link Sunday night from a friend on discord. (Turns out they'd been hacked too)
They managed to gain access to my pc and were opening a chat log on Opera under the name vexxproject (dot) org. They were obviously trying to get money out of me and such. They changed a bunch of passwords on emails and all that. I turned the WiFi off to cut them off from doing anything further and have taken the following steps.
I've deleted all recently installed programs, run malware scans, recovered all emails, set up 2fa on my phone, signed all sessions out of everywhere. Everything seemed groovy for a couple days as they didn't get in touch and seemingly couldn't access anything and the only thing I'm having trouble recovering is the affected discord account, which I'm talking to discord support about but they're quite slow.
A couple nights ago they took over the pc again, changed language settings and changed light mode on my new temporary discord, blocked some friends and left the couple servers I'd joined. I ramped up the firewall to max and turned the pc off and got in contact with the police to report it all.
After I'd changed everything for my temp discord on my phone it's seemingly fine and it feels like they can only access things whilst it's running on my computer.
I have done a little digging and it appears vexxproject has a telegram channel and outlines what this program is able to achieve, which is what they did to me.
However I can't seemingly find any advice on how to get rid of these people or stop them from affecting my device.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
