@mxsoda Good luck! 🙏 I've been digging in to the hackers with some friends and have found out a lot of info about them. We passed it all on to the FBI, Turkish authorities, and Discord. Messed with the wrong people.
@Mugi1_ This got a couple of my friends last week and we got some more details/evidence. Thank you for posting about it. I think we got the same guy/group.
Heads up: We're seeing bad actors on Discord that are using modpack .zips to spread malware.
Import files from trusted sources only! The CurseForge app will alert you if an imported zip contains any files not hosted on CurseForge (see below).
Stay safe!
And on top of that, they wanted us to trust them verifying our ID to verify our age. Fuck off. We need a better alternative to Discord. One that also doesn't just black hole communities so they are not openly searchable on the web and require opting in to a closed private system
There's a hack focused around Minecraft mod packs making its way around Discord, taking over people's accounts. @discord@discord_support is moving at a glacial pace in responding to any of it. My friends are all getting nowhere with support. This is bad for a modern tech company
You'd think a company the size of Discord would be well equipped in this day and age, at their scale, to tackle a problem like this. Yet countless people are being hacked as it spreads from friend network to network. They still haven't caught up with tweets here either
@JohnLovesAnime Discord's lack of support is shocking and I am seriously considering abandoning the platform entirely. There is so much they could be doing to thwart hackers, blocking IPs, flagging phrases. They aren't even replying to hacked account tickets in a timely manner. @discord_support
@mxsoda Please also file an FBI report here! https://t.co/yKkIvfb9fD - It may not amount to anything but if we all do it might help. They left their IP on my account logs.
