Am I okay to keep using my discord account?

So on May 8th, I was hit by one of those MrBeast crypto scams from leftover date from a deleted crack game file, and I did a reformat the next day cleaning out my drives, but that same night, I was hit with it again. So Saturday rolls around, I spent all day panicking as my logins to riot/epic/steam even google but google warned me that someone tried but everything else were taken, and all my 2fa removed. I had installed Malwarebytes that day, and ran it but it didnt show me anything and I've been doing two scans daily due to my paranoia about it, even requested Discord to delete my account today as I'm still on edge and very scared, just wanted to know what I should do as I haven't used discord since it happened twice to me. Yesterday(Monday), I spent all of it resetting my passwords and shifting them to a new email, enabling 2fa(using authenticator apps such as google/authy), since then I haven't been getting any notifications about any sus activities

Am I safe now or do I need to reinstall my windows entirely(I didn't consider doing the full nuke option even now) seeing as all I've been dealing with is my Gmail getting spam mails being sent to spam folder. Sorry if I'm typing all over the place, still on edge to where sleeping is hard now cause I worry I wake up to the worst outcome.

Accessing an old account.

Um so I have a question with regarding ways to get an old account back, was wondering if when I log in with my phone number, and click forgot password, it sends me a code to my phone then I put into and then it sends an email link BUT issue is I can't log into my microsoft email due to "highly unusual activity" so my email got blocked, and I've tried contacting them to help and got no response yet, is there any other way to get back into my account, its an account from 2015 and been logged out for nearly 2 months. Sorry for the mess of a question, just I'm not sure what do anymore...and it's making me stressed and anxious.

Um, I need advice..with reformating

Hi, this my first post here and I'm scared and dont know what to do but twice in a row, I've been hacked on discord, where the hacker has sent Mr Beast scam ads. 1st time it happened, I decided to just reformat my drives, and not windows but the 2nd time happened a couple hours left me wondering if its cause of cookies in my windows so do I need to do a complete hard wipe which if I have to, do I need a USB or can it be done without..?

EDIT; also dumb question but is it better to put my wifi to private or leave it as public..?

Help?

Hi so yesterday morning, my cousin called me and he said he got the Mr Beast scam thing sent in dm from me, and I was reported for it which led to a 24h limited access which lifted today around 11am, I'm just worried now that it can happen again, I already reset my password, reformatted my laptop everything possible. I'm really paranoid to sleep now cause what if I wake the next day, to the same situation....

What did yall do when this or something similar happened to you? I need help lol, this the first time this has happened and I dunno what to do..
