Original Discord Hacked, Working on Retrieval
2 years ago
General
Hey guys. So, on Dec. 27th, at approx. 2:00 noon EST, my account fell subject to a hack. This hack was of a inquiry to playtest a game.
"How did you fall for that trick?"
I don't get approached by hackers very often, likely due to my keeping of my small pool of close friends. I let my guard down, compounded by getting the message from a friend I hardly talked to. I pride myself on not letting hackers obtain my Discord, and other information (which the hacker unfortunately gained access to). I don't give them more than a moment of my attention if needed, and I keep a close eye on anything that's immediately off, and I call them out almost immediately, which usually results in them either moving on or blocking me.
Well, this seems to have been the exception.
Needless to say, if you get messages from me inquiring you about a playtest for a project I'm supposedly doing, if it's for a class or otherwise, DO NOT BELIEVE IT. I don't need to tell those who are experienced in weeding them out. This is more for anyone who is more susceptible to it.
Spread as much word as you can (which I'm sure people have already), and stay safe.
I'd gotten an email from Discord a day ago, and they said they have escalated my ticket and will act as soon as possible.
