My mule account got hit 2 days ago, it's the only account that got hacked, and since it's the only one i logged in recently on laptop, i decided to check it out. Apparently i got keylogged, and i also have no idea how, since i don't even use that laptop for anything other than maple (no internet browsing or anything).
Apparently the culprit file is ckvo.exe, which hid itself in my system32. It deactivated viewing hidden files, and my antivirus didn't catch it. You might wanna try the online bitdefender to see if it can find ckvo.
You can also do Start menu>Run>cmd> and check c: with dir /ah to see if you have a couple hidden startup files that ckvo planted on me: a1.bat i think and another one...
The file also copies itself to usb drives so if this is the one you've got try not to transfer stuff to another comp. I infected my desktop, but luckily found out before anything worse happened.
