I made a mistake by following a questionable tutorial about copying clothing designs on Roblox. I copied a line of PowerShell code and pasted it into a site that promised to give me a clothing template. Almost immediately, I realized it was sketchy. Now I'm worried about how compromised my personal information or my Roblox account might be. I've reset my cookies and enabled two-factor authentication (2FA), but I'm not sure if that's enough to protect my account or sensitive data. Can anyone give me advice on other steps I should take to secure myself? Also, I'm not very familiar with how PowerShell works, so any tips would help!

I know it sounds scary, but don't panic. Two-factor authentication won't stop PowerShell attacks because you're already logged in when it's activated. Just be sure to stay vigilant and change your passwords consistently.
First things first, you should definitely reset your passwords right away. If you've used the same password across different sites, change all of them. A unique password for each service is important! Also, consider creating a separate admin account on your computer to use for daily activities, so you don't have admin rights all the time. If you're really concerned about security, the safest way to handle this might be to wipe your machine and start fresh. Also, using a good password manager can make things a lot easier for you.
By the way, do you still have that line of PowerShell code you copied? It could help someone figure out what it might have done to your system. Many times, these scams lead to malware or info stealers, and they frequently pop up on sites like the one you visited. You're not the only one who's faced this issue.
Yeah, I've seen plenty of cases just like this in different forums! Always check what you're copying and pasting before committing to it.
Totally agree! Plus, a password manager can help you generate strong passphrases. They're way easier to remember than random strings like 'BrjsjBj67#!'. Try something like 'Team3-Active-Board-Jump@' instead.
