@TeamYouTube Genuine question: Why do account hijacking investigations take so long, especially when a takeover and unauthorized changes seem obvious? Im currently going through this myself and it feels like the longer it takes, the more time hackers have to do further damage ;_;
@discord_support Mind helping me out please ;_;
My discord has been hacked and the hacker is actively deleting all of my conversations and prepping to sell the account. I've been a supporter of @discord since 2016... Nitro since 2017. Please don't let it go like this.
@KanikouEstellia@achanaruu@discord@discord_support For me, it was the recent "Orbital Gear" game on Steam. It had an RCE vulnerability which allowed the hacker to install a RAT on my computer and it was ggs from there.
Still trying to recover my Gmail and then I'll see if I can recover my Discord :/
Iam absolutely DISAPPOINTED by @discord@discord_support's security system. My account got hacked, the hacker set up their own 2FA, and guess what? Discord chose to PROTECT the hacker instead of me, the original owner with all the billing proofs! 😡
A THREAD. (Please RT 🙏)
@achanaruu@discord@discord_support Dude... This is absolutely sickening. Im sorry this happened. I'm currently in the process of trying to recover my Gmail so that I can recover my Discord account since I got hacked as well... But reading this makes me less hopeful ;_;
@ShadowNaruVT@discord_support Did you get your email hacked too? If not, just submit a ticket under the email attached to the Discord (even if it was compromised).
If email was hacked, prioritize getting that back.
@Shirou_Hikari@kiiriwoo I'm going through the same thing and its a pain. What irks me is how obvious the hack should be. A years old account suddenly has its DOB changed, recovery info replaced, and gets put under family supervision? You'd think that would raise serious red flags and make recovery quick
@tinycactvs Another recent one was the "Orbital Gear" game on Steam. It's been since removed from the store, however this otherwise normal Steam game (and others like it) have an RCE vulnerability, where hackers can remotely execute code on your PC to steal your accounts. Stay safe.
@VoidsChaos Best of luck. You should first prioritize getting your Gmail back. To my understanding, Discord won't even help unless you get this back. I'm currently in process of getting my Gmail back and then will pursue Discord further.
@cuppachae Nah, don't even feel bad about not knowing this. I got my Discord hacked by downloading a game on STEAM of all places. Tldr, I didn't know a friend had their Discord compromised, they pretended to be said friend as we played a game on Steam that had an RCE vulnerability.
@kiiriwoo@SavageWaffers_ Don't feel too bad. It happens to the best of us. I thought this couldn't happen to me but... Yeah. They also put a family link lock on my Gmail. Don't give up though. Seems hopeless but I promise just be persistent.
@kiiriwoo I had my Discord and Gmail hacked too, I feel you for you :/
Don't give up though. I'm currently in the process of recovering my Gmail. Prioritize that first! Send tweets out to @TeamYouTube for help and submit a case to Google.
@dearNinette I recently had my Discord hacked as well as the Gmail attached to it. You likely had a RAT on your computer. If your antivirus wasn't picking it up, it's likely the hackers added an exclusion to have it skip the detection. Full format your PC. Possibly even phone.
@discord_support@discord
I got my Discord and Gmail account recently hacke due to the recent, "Orbital Gear" RCE vulnerability. I'm currently in process of recovering my Gmail but is there anything I can do to start the recovery process of my Discord now?
@TeamYouTube Thank you for the help so far. I was just wondering, is there anything I can do to help the internal team to speed up the investigation in recovering my gmail? Can I provide any documents, ID, birth cert, etc. anything at all?
Please let me know! I have it all.
@nft_dreww@discord_support I recently got my account hacked on Discord and honestly this whole experience has made me wanna switch from Comp Sci -> Cyber Security. I got my account compromised due to a steam game which had a RCE vulnerability. Currently in the process of getting my gmail and discord back
@discord_support Will there be any way to recover my Discord account? Recently got hacked and in the process of recovering my gmail, but if the person changed the email or 2FA between now until I get my account, will I be able to recover still?
My Gmail account got compromised. My phone number is still attached, however attempting to recover it through this is locked by an unauthorized Parental Lock. The person who hacked me added my account to a Family Link. Please help as soon as possible. @TeamYouTube
@TeamYouTube Is there anything I can provide that would speed up recovery of my hacked Gmail account? Anything at all? Any help would be appreciated 🙏
Thank you
