🚨 Several Discord servers has been attacked 🚨
a year ago
This is more of a security tip than a warning, it's not a serious thing at the moment and I don't mean to scare anyone.
It seems that a group of skiddies is causing massive bot attacks on our servers. This is something that is starting to become an ugly routine, because there have been several incidents of this type this week and I want to warn my followers.
They are a group called The Capo Trolls (yeah, its sounds as cringe as it looks 🤣), and their target are furry servers and aquaphilia content servers. There have already been several servers attacked and we more or less know how they do it.
They usually infiltrate the server as any user through an invitation, or in the worst case they use a victim whose account they steal. From inside they start using an exploit of a Discord bot called Dyno, and they use it to spam a lot of dangerous content in all the open chats of the server and by using the command @everyone so that all users are alerted.
Then they start dumping a lot of spam that includes malicious links, gore and very obscene images, images with clearly fascist symbols from the 40s and of course gifs that can cause epileptic attacks.
If you are a owner of a server related to this type of content, you must uninstall the Dyno bot for safety. And you have to limit the server invitations only to users that are not new to using the Discord app. If possible, only invite users that have been created 10 or more months ago. Check for users that have strange behavior or that show signs of being hacked. And carefully check for strange links using the virustotal.com website.
If you are a user, remember to restrict your DMs to friends only. If you see someone sharing a video or photo that doesn't load properly in the chat, don't open it from your browser, and check the link on virustotal.com. Don't share the invite link with strangers, and don't click on invites from unknown servers. It can be a trap.
Otherwise, I'm glad I don't have a server. I'm getting too old for this nonsense.
Stay safe people.
And don't forget to take a breath before you dive in.
See you soon!!
