What should I do if my account was hacked after downloading a suspicious file?

Make sure to disable any saved credit cards you have, just in case. I once faced a similar issue, and I ended up losing around $3,000 because I didn't remember a card was saved on a site. Fortunately, I managed to get my money back.

One of the best things to do now is to avoid downloading and running suspicious files. You should wipe your drives clean and do a fresh install of Windows. Remember to change all your passwords, especially for any account accessed on that computer. Using a good password manager can help you create strong passwords. Also, enable two-factor authentication for crucial accounts.

If you can, back up your important files and then do a clean install of Windows. Set up two-factor authentication on your accounts and use recovery options wherever possible. But keep in mind, if your passwords have been exposed, it's a tough situation.

First, contact support for each of the platforms where your accounts got hacked, like Instagram and Discord. It's also crucial to enable two-factor authentication on those accounts. Additionally, for your PC, grab a USB and do a full reinstall of Windows to wipe everything clean.

Before anything else, shut down your PC. Use a secure device to change the passwords on your accounts. After that, you'll want to completely wipe your PC and reinstall Windows from scratch. It’s a common situation so you're not alone, just make sure you follow some trusted guides to do it properly.
