No credentials or accounts are safe in such a case. You might end up broke and all your social media accounts could get hijacked, modified or used for dishonest activities by the hackers as a result of this probable usage. Another terrible thing, which all the existing Trojans may have been programmed to accomplish, is to exploit your PC resources. Your machine could be transformed into a bot and all its system resources might be used by the hackers for spreading spam and other forms of malware. All of its possible usages are horrid and, to be honest, one of the worst probable scenarios that may happen to you is to become a victim of some of the aforementioned bothering activities.
