So I build automation python bot few months ago and run on my 1st laptop but after 4 days my PC infected with .looy ransomwhere virus because of it I had to format my whole laptop and I lost all my data and projects. Now I also have 2nd laptop I am running same bot and I found out that it actually creating Trojans automatically, I found and delete it, I don't understand how this happening, I run virus check and nothing found after that. Did this happens to someone?
 
Yes, it is possible to get hacked through a single line of malicious code that you execute on your computer.
It's a very simplistic virus that I can write in less than 10 lines of code.
It wouldn't be detected by any anti-virus.
The question is, why go so low.

why go so low.?? Sry I don't understand

I mean that I know how to create a virus.
I can do this.
But why would I do this?
IT's very low and you can get 1000s a day for years.
But what is the point of that?
That'd be like being Jeff Bezos, a mass scale scandal.

He probably means "why do some people even hack others for a very low amount of money".

Yes, it's possible you can get hacked but did you check if it's an actual trojan or just a false positive because of your unknown bot.

Also, why do you run python locally in your work computer? You can use a virtual machine or run it in the cloud.
 
Sounds like you have zero AV protection in place. That might not help recover your encrypted files (which you should definitely make a copy of by the way, just in case any decryption key for it being round the corner) but it will help to remove the rootkit and identify where the source of the infection is coming from. A good one like eset will also scan your network, which is a worse case scenario but sorry to say, might be a likely one here too.
 
Yes, it sounds like you're dealing with a challenging situation. It's possible that the bot you created might be inadvertently creating Trojans or malware, especially if it interacts with external sources or has vulnerabilities. Here are a few steps to consider:


Check your bot's code carefully for any sections that might unintentionally create or download malware. Ensure there's no malicious code or security loopholes.
  1. Dependencies and Libraries: Verify that any third-party libraries or dependencies you're using are from reputable sources and are up-to-date. Sometimes, malicious code can be introduced through compromised libraries.
  2. Check for External Interactions: If your bot interacts with external systems or services, ensure those interactions are secure and not introducing vulnerabilities.
  3. Run Multiple Antivirus Scans: Use different antivirus and anti-malware tools to scan your system. Sometimes, one tool might miss threats that another can detect.
  4. Update Your Software: Ensure your operating system and all software are updated with the latest security patches.
  5. Consult a Security Expert: If the issue persists, consider consulting with a cybersecurity professional who can provide a detailed analysis of your bot and system.

It’s crucial to address these issues to protect your devices and data from further harm.

THAT'S botted. I don't understand why 'you're a bot' jokes at @reaaski . His posts are long af but obviously look like brain vomit, not chatgpt.
