alright so for context, let me lay out the story for you, so a while back i was scorlling through nitter.poast.org, and i was browisng skibidifan21's account, until i saw a nuphory post that he retweeted, it showed how the results screen(excellent) theme from fnf was composed, in it there was a few funky samples from something called "Hit Kit", i was intreeged so i tried getting the pack so i could use the samples, but there was one flaw, the sample pack costed 30-40 dollars, and i dont have a bank account or paypal, so i tried downloading it for free, one site had a download, and in it there was a setup file, i thought it was a sample pack installation but nope, installed 2 fake extensions and gave my pc a virus, i deal with that and i thought things were normal, until i found out i got locked out of my gmail account because sometime tried hacking it, this made me bummed but i continuted with life as normally, kinda, cut forward to a few days later i was trying to get into my github so i can upload the sugaku modpacks source code, but i lost the password, so i tried using the password reset, but when i tried logging into outlook, i found out that it too was locked out, both emails(gmail and outlook) were hacked, after i finally got the pass right i also found out it was comprimised, since it took me to the reset screen.
TLDR, i got a virus trying to get a sample pack for free and i got hacked.
let this be a lesson to y'all, never attempt sample piracy.
Oh and for those wonering, heres the list of all my comprimised accounts:
YouTube
Sketchers United
Deviantart
Fandom
