A Twitter user's Google account was stolen by hackers, and multiple exchanges and social media accounts were affected

A Twitter user shared his experience of having his Google account stolen by hackers. The incident occurred after the user downloaded and installed a malicious program. The hacker obtained the user's Google account by reading the cookie data of the Chrome browser, and successfully changed the password, backup email address and mobile phone number, and even set up a key authentication for the account. Although the user's encrypted assets were not transferred, the affected platforms included multiple Web2 and Web3 exchanges and social media accounts. The user emphasized that even if two-step verification is enabled, more advanced security measures such as key authentication are still required, and it is recommended that everyone be vigilant and handle suspicious links and files with caution.
