I got infected by infostealer.limitail and it blocked all programs, including antivirus and firewall. I restarted my PC from USB and began scanning—it doesn’t boot on the SSD. I’m changing passwords, but should I reinstall the OS, MBO firmware, and my iPhone (which was connected to the PC)? Could stealing some data cause serious problems? EDIT: trojan.gen.2 is also present.

I recommend preserving all crucial information and ensuring your storage devices are thoroughly cleaned before use.

I don't believe your device is at risk simply because it's connected to a power source, though I'd recommend reinstalling the remaining parts for extra security.

Thank you, I'll wait until the 1TB HDD scan is complete.

Yes, it's feasible to identify the files that were transmitted. You can check your router's logs for detailed information about the data sent.

It wouldn't work with standard consumer routers. You'd require a packet sniffer capturing every incoming and outgoing data, consuming significantly more storage than typical devices allow.
