Yesterday morning (the 12th) I had some accounts compromised: 3 Google accounts, my PayPal, and my Amazon. Third thing: I can't 100% confirm this was because of a malicious Afterburner download, but it's my best guess based on the information I have Second thing: Use MFA (Multifactor Authentication) on everything as this will prevent the majority of instances of an account being compromised. And still keep the 1st point in mindįirst thing: This applies to any software of course, always download from official sources or trusted 3rd parties, don't blindly trust the first links to pop-up. As far as I know this should resolve the issue, but if you have any other suggestions please comment themĮdit for more visibility: Use uBlock Origin! It'll get rid of ads like this (whitelist anyone you want to support or consider contributing money directly, but be careful with who/what you whitelist). All storage drives installed on the infected PC (especially the OS drive), and any storage like flash drives connected to the PC since infection need to be wiped and your OS reinstalled (don't try creating an OS installer on your infected PC, if you don't have one do it on a known good device). It's worth scanning any other computers on your network just in case.
