I tried to download a cracked version of Pokemon ZA and got an information stealer virus. First my Instagram detected it and locked them out, then both my TikTok and Discord were hacked but I ended up recovering them.
To fix the issue, I de-synced everything from Google Chrome, changed every password and reset my PC while keeping the most important stuff in my USB. In the meanwhile, my card also got hacked as it was on Chrome. They tried forcing a transaction but there was no money.
So I go change my card, and I get a new one. However, today I get a warning: failed transaction to PayPal as the new card is still not active.
I didn’t link my new card to PayPal yet, so should I be worried? I read that PayPal automatically tries attempts a 0,00 transaction to check if my new card works but I hadn’t linked it yet, so I figure it might have been a transaction to someone’s PP account. I don’t know if PayPal was on my computer or not. Thanks in advance.
