Preface:
Hey, so I ran a full scan to see if my system is clean, once the scan was completed Trojan:Script/Wacatac.H!ml was detected, so I immediately inspected the detection and quarantined.
Chapter 1 | Context (skip):
- I don't download shady cracked, dll injector mod menus, totally-free-games, adobe-flash .exe software from the web. The Windows XP days are over
- I don't open pdfs or epubs, or at least I only open trust-worthy ones, checking hash via VT. But generally, zero third party pdfs, not from friends, not from emails.
- I always look up the original source of a software like balena etcher, wiztree etc manually by hand, rather than using peoples'/websites' links.
- I also have windows defender ransomware / folder modification thingy protection enabled, as well as kernelisolation and what not, which means when software like balena etcher tries to write a file or something, it needs to ask for permission.
Chapter 2 | Detection:
containerfile: C:\Users\<myusername>\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\v06usssn.default-release\cache2\entries\6C34C1BBF8017FB4DE2E4B133FE206D1CFF902E7

Appendix
Does someone know what exactly is going on?
Firefox Extensions: Ublock origin, darkreader
Another fullscan completed no detection.
The plan is to install Bitdefender (Premium Trial) and run a full scan.
Looking this trojan up results in barely any matching results, or fruitful solutions/discussions, but rather people trashing OP for using AVG or whatever
Thanks in advance.
Why is this post written like a book? No idea, you tell me . Why the excessive smileys? Nostalgia.
