| 9. Amazon, PayPal, eBay & Online Banking | Amazon: amazon.com/gp/css/homepage.html -> Login & Security + Manage Your Content and Devices (Deregister browsers) |

Step 2: How to find out EVERY account that was exposed on your infected computer¶
After you have locked down your top 10 critical accounts on your clean phone, you face a daunting question: "I have used that computer for four years, how do I know which of my 250 websites had saved passwords or active cookies inside Chrome/Edge when the infostealer ran?"
While keeping the infected computer 100 percent offline (Wi-Fi OFF, Ethernet unplugged), turn it on and extract your exact exposure inventory before wiping the machine:
- Export your Browser Saved Passwords List (
CSV): - Open your browser offline (
chrome://password-manager/settingsin Chrome,edge://wallet/settingsin Edge, orabout:loginsin Firefox) and click Export passwords to saveChrome Passwords.csvonto a clean USB flash drive. - Why this file is gold for your recovery: The infostealer stole this exact database. Having
Chrome Passwords.csvin front of you gives you the exact checklist of every single website username and password the attacker now possesses, so you don't miss an old tax portal, airline miles account, or shopping site with a saved credit card. - Inspect which websites had active Session Cookies (
chrome://settings/content/all): - Na Chrome to Edge (ntango ozali na internet te), kende na ** .
chrome://settings/content/all** (toedge://settings/content/all) and sort by Data stored or Most visited. Any website where you stayed logged in without typing a password was vulnerable to session cookie theft and needs its session terminated. - Check if your Standalone Password Manager (1Password, Bitwarden, KeePassXC) was Unlocked at the Moment of Infection:
- If your 1Password, Bitwarden, or KeePassXC vault was LOCKED when the infostealer ran: The malware could only grab the encrypted local vault cache (
data.jsonto mpe.kdbx), which is protected by PBKDF2-SHA256 / Argon2id + your Master Password (and 34-character Secret Key in 1Password). If your Master Password is strong, your vault contents remain safe, though you should still rotate your Master Password as a precaution. - If your password manager browser extension was UNLOCKED in memory when the malware ran (or if you saved your Password Manager Master Password inside Chrome's built-in autofill.): Assume the infostealer dumped your vault or captured your Master Password, and rotate all critical credentials inside your vault.
Step 3: Hunting and eradicating Infostealer persistence before wiping the OS¶
Before backing up your personal documents and performing a clean OS reinstall, you can inspect how the infostealer entered your system and whether it dropped a persistent secondary loader (such as a Scheduled Task, Registry Run key, Startup .lnk shortcut, or malicious Chrome Extension):
1. Run this Offline PowerShell Persistence Audit (Windows)¶
Open PowerShell (Admin) on the offline PC and run these four read-only forensic checks:
# 1. Check the Windows Run/RunOnce Registry Keys for user-level malware loaders in AppData/Temp:
Get-ItemProperty -Path "HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run",
"HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce",
"HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
# 2. Check the Startup Folder for suspicious .lnk, .vbs, .bat, or .exe files:
Get-ChildItem -Path "$env:APPDATA\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup",
"C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp" -Force
# 3. List all Scheduled Tasks created or modified in the last 7 days calling PowerShell, cmd, mshta, or AppData:
Get-ScheduledTask | Where-Object { $_.State -ne "Disabled" } | ForEach-Object {
$info = $_ | Get-ScheduledTaskInfo -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
foreach ($action in $_.Actions) {
if ($action.Execute -match "powershell|cmd|mshta|wscript|cscript|rundll32|regsvr32|AppData|Temp|ProgramData") {
[PSCustomObject]@{
TaskName = $_.TaskName
Execute = $action.Execute
Args = $action.Arguments
LastRun = $info.LastRunTime
}
}
}
} | Format-Table -AutoSize
# 4. Check Windows Defender Exclusions (Infostealers immediately add C:\ or AppData to Defender Exclusions.):
Get-MpPreference | Select-Object -ExpandProperty ExclusionPath
Get-MpPreference | Select-Object -ExpandProperty ExclusionProcess
Get-MpPreference): Almost every modern PowerShell/ClickFix infostealer runs Add-MpPreference -ExclusionPath "C:\" or excludes %APPDATA% mpe .exe files so Microsoft Defender becomes completely blind to the malware folder. Remove all unauthorized Defender exclusions immediately with:
Get-MpPreference | Select-Object -ExpandProperty ExclusionPath | ForEach-Object { Remove-MpPreference -ExclusionPath $_ }
2. Why a Clean OS Reinstall (via USB Media) is Recommended After an Infostealer¶
Tango ozali kosala Microsoft Defender Offline Scan mpe Malwarebytes sima ya ko effacer ba exclusions ya Defender elongolaka ba chargeurs ya persistance oyo eyebani, ba infostealers ya biloko ya mombongo mbala mingi ba bundle secondaire RAT (Trojan d’accès à distance), SystemBC SOCKS5 proxy, to clipper malware (oyo elandaka na kimia clipboard na yo ya Windows mpe swap adresse nionso ya portefeuille ya Bitcoin/Ethereum oyo esalemi copie na adresse ya pirate).
- Soki osili kosala kopi ya mikanda na yo moko, bafɔtɔ, mpe... Chrome Passwords.csv hors PC hors connexion, sala propre Windows 11 USB Reinstall (to macOS Effacer Tous Contenu et Paramètres) kolanda biso guide ya infection ya ba malware, ransomware, na spyware.
3. Audit ya ba Systèmes macOS na Linux pona ba Artifacts ya Infostealer (Atomic macOS Stealer / AMOS, . Poseidon, mpe Ba extensions ya Navigateur ya mabe)¶
Soki masini na yo oyo ezwami na bokono ezali Apple MacBook/iMac to poste ya mosala ya ba développeurs Linux na esika ya PC Windows, sala ba vérifications oyo ya terminal hors ligne mpo na koyeba mpe kosilisa persistance:
# On Apple macOS:
# 1. Check for unauthorized LaunchAgents and LaunchDaemons dropped by AMOS / Poseidon Stealer:
ls -la ~/Library/LaunchAgents /Library/LaunchAgents /Library/LaunchDaemons
# 2. Check for hidden staging folders in /tmp or /var/folders created by AppleScript / osascript stealers:
find /tmp /var/folders -iname "*out.zip*" -o -iname "*passwords.txt*" -o -iname "*cookies*" 2>/dev/null
# 3. Inspect installed Chrome / Brave / Edge Extensions for rogue manifest permissions ('cookies', 'webRequest', '<all_urls>'):
grep -rn '"permissions"' ~/Library/Application\ Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Extensions/ 2>/dev/null
4. Bokangami ya administrateur ya entreprise & ya cloud (ID ya Microsoft Entra, Okta, Esika ya mosala ya Google, mpe AWS IAM) .¶
Soki ordinateur oyo ezwami na infostealer ezalaki ya ingénieur logiciel, administrateur ya DevOps, to mosali ya entreprise oyo azalaki na ba sessions actives na Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), Okta, Google Workspace, AWS, to Cloudflare, bopeto ya dispositif local ezali kaka ndambo ya bitumba. Salá ba révocations oyo ya répertoire ya cloud mbala moko:
- ID ya Microsoft Entra (
Revoke-MgUserSignInSession): Kofina "Kobima" na navigateur moko elongolaka ntango nyonso te bilembo ya kozongisa sika ya liboso (PRT) to Azure CLI (az login/ ..azure/msal_token_cache.bin) ba jetons oyo esalemi kopi na disque. Esengeli Administrateur ya Entra akendeRevoke-MgUserSignInSession -UserId user@company.comna Microsoft Graph PowerShell mpo na kozongisa oyo ya mosalelisignInSessionsValidFromDateTimeattribut mpe ko invalider ba Refresh Tokens nionso na ba points d'arrêt nionso na mbala moko. - AWS CLI & Rotation ya ba jetons ya développeur (
-/.aws/credentials, .-/.npmrc, .-/.pypirc, .-/.kube/config): Ba infostealers ya biloko ya mombongo ba scanner explicitement répertoire ya ndako ya usager nionso pona.aws/credentials, ..ssh/id_ed25519, ..gitconfig, ..env, mpe ba fichiers ya config ya Docker/Kubernetes. Désactivé mbala moko mpe tourner ba Clés d'Accès nionso ya AWS IAM (AKIA...) na Console ya AWS, longola GitHub Jetons d’accès personnel (ghp_...), mpe kosilisa bafungola ya bato nyonso ya SSH oyo emonisami na ba serveurs ya production (-/.ssh/authorized_keys). - Messagerie ya bureau & Purge ya jeton ya client VPN (Bureau ya télégramme
tdata, Signal, Slack, OpenVPN, WireGuard): Longola ba navigateurs web, ba modules ya infostealer ko copier spécifiquement ya%APPDATA%\Telegram Desktop\tdatarépertoire (oyo epesaka nzela na attaquant a cloner compte Telegram na yo mobimba na PC na ye sans code SMS),%APPDATA%\Slack\storage, mpe ebombami FungolaVPN (.ovpn) / Mobateli ya nsinga ( ..conf) ba profils ya VPN ya entreprise. Fungola Telegram na téléphone na yo (Paramètres > Appareils -> Silisa ba sessions nionso mosusu), bima na ba espaces nionso ya mosala ya Slack (slack.com/account/settings-> Bóbima na ba sessions nionso misusu), pe senga administrateur ya réseau na yo alongola pe abimisa lisusu certificat ya client VPN ya entreprise na yo.

Mituna oyo batunaka mingi¶
How could someone post crypto scam links on my Instagram, Discord, or YouTube account when I have Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) with Google Authenticator turned on and never got a login alert?
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) only guards the **front door (the `/login` screen)**. Once you type your password and 6-digit 2FA code on Monday morning, the website hands your web browser a **Session Cookie** so you don't have to re-type your 2FA code every time you click a new page on Tuesday or Wednesday. When an infostealer malware program ran on your PC, it copied that already-authenticated Session Cookie straight out of your browser's `Cookies` database and uploaded it to the attacker. When the attacker injected your cookie into their browser, Instagram/Discord/YouTube saw your valid session token and let them right in without ever showing them the login screen or asking for a 2FA code.
I changed my Gmail/Discord/Instagram password right after noticing the hack, so how did the hacker post AGAIN two hours later?
That happens for one of two reasons: First, if you typed your new password **on the same infected computer** before wiping the malware, the infostealer (or a bundled keylogger/persistence task) simply stole your new password and new session cookie all over again. Second, on platforms like Google, Microsoft, or Facebook, if the attacker used their first 5 minutes inside your account to **register their own hidden Passkey, Authenticator app, OAuth third-party app, or secondary recovery email**, or if you changed your password without clicking **"Sign out of all devices/sessions"**, their backdoor token remained active. Always change passwords from a **separate clean phone**, click **Sign out everywhere**, and delete any unfamiliar Passkeys, 2FA devices, or OAuth apps.
Can an infostealer steal my Hardware Passkeys (YubiKey) or iPhone/Windows Hello Passkeys?
No, an infostealer **cannot export the cryptographic private key of a Passkey** stored inside a hardware FIDO2 security key (like a YubiKey), an Apple Secure Enclave, an Android Titan M2 chip, or a Windows Hello TPM 2.0 chip, because those private keys live inside isolated silicon and are mathematically non-exportable. **However**, while the infostealer cannot steal the Passkey itself, it *can* still steal the **active HTTP session cookie** from your browser *after* you used your Passkey to log into a website, or steal a Passkey stored inside an *unlocked* software password manager extension. That is why Google, Microsoft, and the W3C developed **Device-Bound Session Credentials (DBSC)**, which cryptographically bind browser session cookies to your computer's TPM chip so stolen cookies stop working on a hacker's computer.
I received a terrifying email quoting my real old password at the top and showing a screenshot of my actual Windows desktop, the sender says they recorded me through my webcam and want $1,500 in Bitcoin. Is it real?
The **screenshot of your desktop and your password ARE real** because every commodity infostealer (`RedLine`, `Lumma`, `Vidar`) is programmed to take **one single static screenshot (`screenshot.jpg`) of whatever was on your monitor at the exact second the malware ran** and bundle it inside the `.zip` log file alongside your stolen browser passwords. Years or months later, bulk extortion spammers buy millions of old stealer logs for pennies and run an automated script that emails you that single screenshot and your password, lying that they "recorded you on your webcam." **There is no webcam video, they only have that one static screenshot taken the second the stealer ran.** Never pay them a cent; follow our [sextortion and online blackmail](../digital-and-tech/sextortion-and-online-blackmail.md) guide and clean your PC.
