A user's social media accounts were hacked, leading to cryptocurrency scam spam. After cleaning up the accounts, the user tracked down the virus using "Opus 5 Max" and changed passwords. The user emphasizes that even strong security measures may not prevent simple cookie theft, urging others to be careful. The experience highlights the ongoing challenges of online security and the importance of vigilance against evolving threats.
A few days ago, my social media accounts were hacked. The hacker took advantage of the situation to spam the worst kinds of bait (cryptocurrency scams...). After cleaning things up, I tracked down the virus with a bunch of Opus 5 Max (I was quite concerned lol). I changed my passwords and thought I’d be able to sleep soundly.
But last night I received this email from Anthropic warning me of an attempt to steal tokens via the API. However, after checking, the attempt did indeed fail. Note that I was logged into Anthropic via Google with two-factor authentication. Apparently, the hacker stole all my Google Chrome credentials, including cookies and session IDs, which allowed him to bypass all two-factor authentication security measures.
As an emergency measure, I removed all active sessions from my Google accounts (which I should have done from the start) and changed my passwords again...
Take care! And be aware that even the best security measures don’t protect against simple cookie theft
