You were just minding your business, playing Final Fantasy 7 on your laptop. All of a sudden during gameplay, everything freezes and the game closes down, taking you back to the website Steam.

You were confused. The game was deleted, and so were another few games. You do some digging and find out someone’s been hacking you in various apps and sites. TikTok, Steam, Spotify.. his music taste was definitely.. interesting.

Downloading the games again felt so slow, you were getting really bored with nothing to do.

That was, until a message pops up on your screen. It was from an stranger on Discord.

*Milanooo_: “Привет. Что ты делаешь?”

You don’t know Russian, so you translated it and it said: ‘Hey. What are you doing?’
