I got a message today. My phone didn't have Discord running, but I heard my Android phone make the sound that I got a message. I saw that it was a Discord message and I didn't open Discord. My e mail was opened on my phone. So I opened Discord on my PC. Someone that hasn't messaged me in over a year sent me 4 screenshots of something about MR Beast and crypto currency. I realized that this was some sort of scam. I did enlarge the screenshots to see what they were. But I didn't open them in a web browser. After coming onto to Reddit and searching a few posts on Youtube, I saw that this was a session stealer and that other people were saying that they also got their accounts hacked and sent out the same messages to people on their friends lists.

I ran a virus scan with Bitdefender. It didn't find anything. I want to know if I am cooked and if I need to do something else? Since the sound of the notification came on my phone, but I never did anything with this message on my phone, is my phone OK? Is my PC infected? If so what can I do about it? I'm afraid to log into anything on my PC because I've seen some people saying that some of their other accounts like Instagram were hacked. If this is just a session ID, wouldn't closing DIscord and running CCleaner get rid of all of the session info? I've done that.

Does clicking on the pics to enlarge them, trigger the infection? Or do you have to open them in a web browser?
