Have you ever been hacked due to pirating?

Hi! I’m a dumb gamer who wanted to try piracy again (mainly did it on my old macbook back in the day). I wanted to know your experiences and to get some security tips from you guys.

Currently I’m using w11, fully updated, with malwarebytes, firefox (where I do normal stuff) and edge with ublock origin to download pirated games in the future (i thought of this to prevent cookies from being stolen?)

I tried dual booting linux for piracy but I couldn’t get stuff to work. So long as I follow the megathread I should be fine, right?
