Hi folks,
unfortunately, the Discord accounts of two team members got compromised
and taken over by spammers, speading malicious links in the Discord
channels and by personal messages.
If you got any messages with links to something like "HEY, FREE NITRO!",
under any circumstances:
- DO NOT CLICK ON THESE LINKS, your Discord account will be gone!
- DO NOT approve any login attempts or "connection" to these websites.
- DO NOT scan any QR codes you got from random URLs in your Discord app.
After your account got taken over, it will start sending out the
malicious links as well (classic worm style).
Since we don't know if this was a targeted attack, this security advise
is not valid for Discord only. Instead, you should be extremely careful
when visiting the forums as well.
Stay safe!
All the best
Lothar (rootfather)
