Disconnect from the internet, run a full antivirus scan, change important account passwords immediately, and monitor your financial accounts closely.

Immediately disconnect your device from the internet to stop data transfer. Avoid entering sensitive details or downloading files. Scan your system using anti-malware software, change passwords for affected online accounts, and monitor financial transactions. Finally, report the suspicious activity to your organization's IT department or relevant authorities.
