Pretty sure there's #spyware on my computer even though #NordVPN tells me there are no threats. #computers
Going to do a factory reset, but any other suggestions I haven't thought of?
Why I think there is at least remnants of spyware on my computer:
- My bank account was #hacked recently and it was apparently from MY computer

Hack-for-Hire Campaign Targets Journalists Across MENA Region
A hack-for-hire operation with suspected links to the Bitter threat actor targeted journalists, activists, and government officials across the Middle East and North Africa between 2023 and 2025. The campaign employed sophisticated spear-phishing attacks via LinkedIn, Apple Messages, WhatsApp, and email to compromise Apple and Google accounts. Victims included Egyptian journalists Mostafa Al-A'sar and Ahmed Eltantawy, along with a Lebanese journalist whose Apple Account was fully compromised. Attackers used OAuth consent phishing and fake login pages to harvest credentials and 2FA codes. Infrastructure overlaps with Android spyware campaigns distributing ProSpy, ToSpy, and Dracarys malware. The operation represents an unusual expansion of Bitter's targeting scope into civil society, suggesting either hack-for-hire services or direct nation-state involvement in regional surveillance efforts focused on monitoring communications and harvesting personal data.
