Warning to all indie game devs, localizers, voice actors, or even content creators!
Our Korean localizer, Boa Eum, had her google & discord accounts hacked yesterday. It happened because she downloaded a "game" that had malware that took her information after she played it.
Her gmail and discord got hijacked even though she had 2FA enabled.
Please be careful of sudden sketchy messages even from your friends asking you to play their game. As they might be compromised.
Download only from official sites and not directly from a google drive or any other cloud storage. And always run a virus scan before opening anything. Didn't know this could happen to one of our team mates. But it did. So please take care out there.
Boa is our most hard working Localizer and it sucks that this had to happen to her.
I think something similar happened to @SayuriArtsy too. Also tagging @TheRoyalSkies since he made a very informative video about it.
I think the perpetrator is still circulating around the indie dev scene. And it sucks so much since us indies don't have much going on for us now we also have to deal with this thing.
Please share to all of your friends who might not know about this modus operandi.
