I was tricked by a malicious actor on discord into downloading a game that was actually a form of malware. After installing the fake game, this person then sent me messages containing my account usernames and passwords, along with web addresses that contained the word "host", and threatened to sell my credentials if I did not pay them.

Hello @Seletus,
I'm sorry to hear that. This will be a task for our malware engineers, as they need to identify the type of malware first and determine if it's still present on the affected device. In the meantime, what you can do is to change your credentials for all the known accounts that may have been compromised. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT provide any information to the malicious actor and cease all communications with them. Their tactics may give you the sense of urgency and they might try to persuade you to unknowingly share more details or pay a ransom. Don't fall for that.
In the event you have Bitdefender installed on your devices, use the link above to contact our Support teams and ask for further assistance asap.
Also, can you share just the name of the fake game with us, please? This will help raise awareness.
Let us know how it goes.

To ensure the safety of my computer, I have provided the link to the file on VirusTotal rather than attaching the file itself.
The link is:

Thank you for your concern, Alexandru_BD. I have taken the necessary precautions and changed my passwords on a separate device. I am now seeking advice on how to disinfect my computer before powering it on. The malicious software was disguised as a game called "Lazzarus".
I am unable to download the sample as link is not opening at my end. Can you share the sample to me via private message.
