My device has already been infected with a virus, and I have formatted and erased all of the disks, and I am now in the process of changing the passwords for all my accounts.
Thank you
So the issue seems to be infostealer malware targeting Bitcointalk users. But not only that, whoever is paying for it (its a Malware-as-a-Service subscriber) knows how to apply for loans on Bitcointalk
and do so in such a manner that does not arouse suspicion. Very sophisticated, and somewhat of a new phenomenon on the forum (going back to the case of Peanutswar who seems to be the first victim).
Yes, definitely, this is a new and literal way to steal by requesting a loan after hacking the account and not changing anything. If it were not for the notification that came to me via the Telegram bot, I would not have known that my account had been hacked and that someone was submitting a loan request through my account. It is likely that the hacker is a member of Bitcoin Talk and knows how to use the forum well.
Fortunately, Shasan has great experience in loans and acted very professionally, otherwise I would have been exposed to a difficult situation, either repaying a loan that I did not obtain or obtaining negative trust.
It is also good that two-factor protection has been added in the forum to increase security, now I have changed the password and enabled two-factor protection.
