On the other hand, I used some airdrop bots to contract with the owners of some projects and from bot links went to their groups. I really don't understand whether my problem is from airdrop or from this cracked file . I think It's not supposed to be from the bot because I don't participate in any airdrop, I just used the group link.

On the contrary, I believe your device got infected because of the bot not the torrent file. The first thing the hacker stole was you cryptos so it's obvious he was targeting crypto users and for this he needs something these users might be interested in (airdrop bot).
Lesson learned! Wipe out all your hard drives, use a clean device to change all your passwords, install a clean and fresh OS then change again all your passwords.

Basically, nobody ever needs an antivirus program if ppl use a common sense and don't become lazy and neglect the common cyber hygiene.

If all people in the world were good and did not have malicious intentions, then we should not lock the doors of our houses/apartments or our cars - but that is not the case in real life, and even less so in the online environment where such dangers are even more pronounced. I'm not one of those who advocate the pointlessness of security software on today's computers, because I think they help more than they hurt - and if the OP had a good AV, he might have prevented the computer from being infected, considering that any good AV will block such downloads or quarantine them in case of a startup.

Sorry but lol.
How the hell people still fall for this "Elon Musk givaway" thing?
Anyway it's too late now but at least lesson is learned with a small loss.

If you play cracked games then build a pc or get a laptop for your crypto.

The best thing you can do is to reset your phone as well to ensure that things are not compromised by hackers anymore. Is this email account linked to your binance account? if yes please quickly change the password and necessary reset all information from the phone number associated with gmail and change new 2FA settings. Once you lose control of your Gmail account, your Binance account will also be at risk.

If you have access to mail, change your password there too, and also check if incoming emails contain links that may contain virus software. Also, check the phone number to which you registered the mail; a hacker could change it. Ideally, reset all phone settings to factory settings, because your message still says that besides you, someone else may have access.

A bit off-topic, but i'd be skeptical if size of modern game is only 1.55MB.

Maybe it can be, if the exe is only a launcher and the actual game is somewhere else or it's in dlls.

That would make sense if we're talking about legit game. But why would people who crack game bother create launcher program? They could use BitTorrent protocol or cloud storage (such as Google Drive) to share cracked game easily.

I'm not sure I've got your question right.
A legit app may have a launcher, especially if it's expected to get (many) updates. Seen that, not in games though (I don't play lately, so I don't know).
The crack is probably a downloader. This way some AV may not flag it, since it may have not much of malicious code, but the downloaded package is probably a "bomb" for the OS.
Of course, in the case the legit exe is a launcher, probably a "legit crack" (lol) would have been replacing some dlls, not the exe.

I am curious: are you using a genuine or pirated OS right now?

Although this is a legitimate question given the situation, it still depends on how the OS (in the specific case of Windows) was cracked. Until maybe 2-3 years ago, I used pirated W7 and until I had HW I kept everything in hot desktop wallets and I traded on some exchanges and I was never hacked because of that.

Of course, this does not mean that the danger does not exist, but it is much more likely that malware/viruses will be picked up just as the OP did. In addition, W10 can be used without a license with some restrictions, and the license itself from legitimate sources sometimes costs less than $10 - which is still a lot of money for those who live by the philosophy "why pay when you can have it for free".

Do I have to worry about Binance? Email 2-step on and also in Binance using mobile number . I have a good fund on my Binance.

You seem to be doing many things wrong when it comes to crypto but also basic computer/internet security. Luckily, you enabled 2FA on Binance, which prevented the hacker from accessing and emptying your exchange account.

Bitcoin is all about self-custody and being in full control of your money. This incident proves that you are not ready for that. I would never recommend keeping crypto on exchanges, but if you can't protect yourself from malware and you are easily tricked to download and run potentially dangerous files, maybe it's best if you leave your coins on Binance and allow them to store them for you. We can recommend hardware wallets or cold storage, but are you going to start using those?

And on this night my trust wallet got hacked and transferred all my fund(around 80$ coins). Second day my Epic games email was changed and today I saw my instagram email was changed and my telegram Id have required a verification password. I lost access from my mobile but luckily it is still there on PC .

You are lucky that it was just $80 and not your entire life saving on crypto, else it would have been a very expensive lesson that you have learnt. There is also an important lesson for everyone to learn, so as not to make same mistake as OP. The solution to your problem has already been given OP, plus forum members have been extra kind to give extra tips for you not to find yourself in this problem again. If you have not faced these sort of problems, It is in your best interest to also take note of the steps to take so you don't find yourself in same problem OP is facing, you may have a lot more than $80 in your possession.

1.For your Binance account first of all transfer any fund you got there if you have.
2• ensure you change your email address so they will lock it after changing the email address and bind or rebind with a different Google authenticator if you haven't.
3• For the Instagram in order to recover your account use the same link that Instagram sent you via email to let them know you didn't make any change of email for them to secure your account using the original email address so they can log the hacker out.

I was trying to download the crack version of Spider-Man Remastered from some torrent site. (Got link from some YouTuber link)

Don't use cracked software even you buy it from any local stores. You don't know what they added in those cracked softwares.

What you did is worse when you downloaded cracked software from the Internet with more risk of hazardous elements.

You just broke a very basic preventive rule.

It is terrible if you install cracked softwares in the computer in which you store your cryptocurrency.

Hacker attacked my computer or mobile?, I could not really identify how it happening with me. Need help from forum.

Yes, most probably those cracks you downloaded have downloaded some more "tools" that have helped the hacker.

After the cleanup I recommend:
1. Consider making a small linux partition only for crypto stuff (with a browser, maybe a wallet too); Linux Mint is very easy for Windows users, many other flavors of Linux are not that bad either.
2. Consider buying a hardware wallet for your funds. You seem to not be knowledgeable enough with your computer security, so it may be a very good direction.
3. Stop using cracks / hacked software. I mean, what you were expecting?!

The most obvious reason behind it that torrent file that pushed the malware into your system and gain unethical access to your system and your wallets which is why I never trust these links by the youtubers who are promoting them.You don't know how many files they installed in your system and when you try to open them they ask for adminstration access of your system and allow changes on which we accept it and then they have the control of our system.

As said by others re-install the OS and if you are familiar with Linux then use it instead of windows giving your customize security control and less risk but only if you are familiar with it's usage.

As far as I know, Trust wallet is available on the phone, so no matter what type of virus it is, it is difficult to hack your phone, but let me guess that you did the following:

- You keep your seeds in digital form or in an unencrypted file - for example, a .txt file.
- Kept all passwords in a file or used the same password.
- You copy or type the password after downloading that app.

The last one seems to be the case as first thing malware do is install keylogger to your device and whenever your type something they have the access of your wallets and this might happened with @OP and there are risk associated with these pirated sites which should be avoided at any cost.

In general, if you do not know what to do, go to a professional person to copy your data and then reformat the device, and until that time transfer all your coins to a new generated wallet a9generate it from your phone) and change all your passwords.
This is if we say that your phone was not affected based on your story.

Recently finished up os setup. Change some social media and email password . Do I have to worry about Binance? Email 2-step on and also in Binance using mobile number . I have a good fund on my Binance.

Although it is not smart to use CEX as storage, it actually saved you this time because you obviously did not access your exchange account while your computer was infected, most likely by some keylogger or even a remote access trojan. Considering that you only lost $80 and that some of your social networks were hacked, I think you paid for this lesson very cheaply.

Bitcoin and pirated software do not go together, because it is one of the attack vectors that hackers use, so you will have to change your approach to the way you use your computer and what you do while you are online.

Accessing from a clean environment, besides changing your Binance credentials and 2FA access method, I’d also go through the Account Activity Records to see if someone has made an attempt to gain control of the account.

Note: I presume that the OS you’ve reinstalled is legit, and not installed via la KMS cracker, which would potentially defeat the purpose of a clean start.

Are the links in your op not the ones that lead to your attack?

All right. These links should be removed, or at least everyone should be warned not to click on them.
OP, are you still waiting to change your forum password? I see that you didn't. It's pretty stupid to use a computer, download torrents, and combine some kind of financial business. Any hacked version of something can't just be altruistic help for those who don't want to pay. This always carries viruses that will wake up the user at an unexpected time.
O.P. Split your computer into two systems if you can't afford two devices. I will not be smart about antivirus. I think you already understand everything. Let this experience be your only lesson.

I guess you changed Binance password as well, right? Another thing, I would advise you to stop using mobile number for 2FA (danger of SIM swap) and instead use Google authenticator (or any other similar app), just make sure to backup the key in case something happens to your mobile phone.

Obviously change your Binance password as well just to be sure, and use OTP 2fa, not SMS mobile verification since it's insecure as hell.

Also, hardware wallets.
