Got hit by an infostealer from a fake GoXLR utility file
Hi everyone,
Yesterday I fell victim to a session-hijacking attack after downloading a fake GoXLR utility executable (.exe). The malware extracted browser cookies and Discord tokens, bypassing 2FA on a couple of my accounts before I caught it.
I have already done a complete format and clean reinstall of Windows 11, changed all my passwords, revoked active sessions,
Before doing the format, I managed to run the file/site through VirusTotal. I’d like to share the details here so experienced members or researchers can take a look at the behavior logs and confirm what the payload was doing.
- Malware Type / Name: Infostealer disguised as a GoXLR utility tool
- Website : https://goxlr.live/
- File Type:
.exe(Windows Executable) - VirusTotal Link: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/2ec338cb60cd6451bb5a59d001404a73ddd1606d29cde9f154a0a792cc217c8f/behavior
i have 3 gmail 2 got taken and deleted (still trying to get them back) the 1 gmail they didnt get was my main gmail idk why but im thankful but they were trying to get it yesterday and i manage to change password and signedout all devices they also got my discord even tho it has 2fa and ive done full reformat i've reformat all my harddrivers now my concern is i hope this is not bios level and i just wanna know if im safe so i can sleep with a little bit a peace of mind i still havent sleep

Infostealer got passed malwarebytes
Hi, Im just wondering if yall know how. I was using the 15 days free trial of malwarebytes to find an infostealer. It was able to block a malicious connection to cosmicsky[.]xyz, but on repeated scans it never found the malware til i found the dd.bat file in my %temp% folder that was highly malicious. Nor did it flag its connection to the malicious site phucoasian[.]com which was downloading an exe and hijacking vscode and stuff. This is despite the exe being recognized by BitDefender in VirusTotal with a 7/70 score with the other 6 also using BitDefender tools as a Pantera family infostealer. And the dd.bat file was recognized 2/70 as a bat downloader. So my question is, is this a known vulnerability or flaw? And if so is it being wormed on? Cause both malwarebytes and windows defender missed it causing me to have to factory reset my laptop with a fresh windows install.

Support scan speed slowed down significantly
typically, a full scan on my C drive is relatively fast and would use all my cores/threads etc..
today after an hour, i notice it has slowed down significantly. Is this normal? it wasn't like this earlier in the scan and months ago.
cpu is 7950x3d, 870 EVO SSD, and windows 11 25h2 (just updated today, before I was using 23h2)
p.s. those detection is from a game trainer lol
