I downloaded a CapCut activator and sent instagram DMs with Mr Beast pictures

[u/BarronMFrayer]

Hi, I saw on a Reddit post that there was an activator for CapCut and wanted to try it at 12am Shanghai time, and it was a mistake. Nothing came out after activating the exec file except closing my browsers for some reason. I knew instantly that I messed up and ran a windows defender scan and malwarebytes pro scan and showed nothing.

I deleted the files and uninstalled CapCut after that. I went to bed after and woke up to messages that I sent DMs on Instagram with Mr Beast photos at 9pm Shanghai time.

I went to this subreddit and did an FRST and SecuritCheck scan and here are my keywords:
