Hacked - New Discord - Update & Hacker Discord ID + Request
4 days ago
Alright everyone, I am back in portions now, but I am still busy with things.
I made a new Discord ID “triasthedinoartist” AND I could safely secure Trias-Works, so thank god for that, I just need an additional phone verification for the time being, but it works.
What's effectively corrupted are my trias1991[at]hotmail.de as well as the two gmx mail accounts I used to have, plus the old main discord Trias2673. I'm still in communication.
The entire rest of my online presence seems safe, I could change mail accounts and passwords pretty much everywhere. (Special thanks to New Grounds for reacting lightning fast, that deal was set within like 5-10 minutes!)
The hacker got me with the “test my game” scam, which is apparently extremely popular among hackers and has been for a while. Problem was I never had even heard of it.
The hacker goes by the discord ID of “ekrem” (ekrem0236) and seems to be from Turkey. On my phone I could check and there seems to be a small X account who covered them a little, so chances are this person is not entirely unknown for being a criminal.
The way he got me was approaching me with the stolen account from “TheAwesomeFoxGuy”, who was mutual with Volkenfox, who actually is a legit game developer. That made me think it wouldn't be out of the ordinary, because both of these people are also into the same kinks, so I didn't rule out that -FoxGuy could also be working on a game.
I downloaded the game file, which didn't start. The hacker then sent me a patch to “fix it”, after which I got a sudden txt file popping up with all of my online accounts, websites and passwords. That is when the penny finally dropped on my end and I went into massive panic mode and was under shock till yesterday noon, when I finally could get busy going over all of my accounts, deleting things and messaging companies.
The hacker also pressed me out of 600 bucks. Yes, I paid ransom in my shock, hindsight is 2020, I did the best I could in that moment and secured my bank, PayPal, commissiontrias@gmail and FA by changing the passwords straight away.
He wanted some crypto stuff from me, but I had to buy it under his directions (in order to get my data back or something, he deleted all of the chat while I was still there and I only have a few screen-caps). Overall he wanted 1300, but I could not pay any more than 150 after I already did give 450. The Second crypto purchase I assed and bought the wrong one, then I just upped and left the room shaking shortly after.
As soon as I had calmed down enough, I filed a police report and frantically punched in the initial journal to warn you all.
Jack told me he noticed something weird straight away and bugged down ekrem when he was continuing the scam. Some of you also fell victim, which sucks big time.
So yeah, here we are. Regarding the other two journals, there are way too many comments this time to react to, but I did read the majority of them.
Thank you everyone very much for spreading the word so quickly to try to prevent more damage.
The Trias-Art's discord server is indeed gone now as ekrem has deleted it, probably in rage against Jack.
Jack already began crafting a new one and brought Legion-beast on board afterwards, I myself got access to it today, but it will be a while till we have everything back in place and I need to reorganize stuff for the patrons as well on patreon to get the perk system back. There are also other things regarding my work software and more on my machine since I did a clean install of windows to make sure the virus is not there hiding.
(Since I actively did the DUMB AS FUCK THING of downloading and clicking the malware myself, I am not entirely certain how to proceed regarding online safety, but I am much more watchful now, another bit of life experience.)
Since I suffered some financial damage, I would like to request you guys to actively share my work around, wips or completed work, to get the Trias and the Dinosaurs Inc. brand name out there.
I have full intention on showcasing the lore of the Dinosaurs Inc. much more, they are as novel as a concept as they are colorful.
My work schedule has now shifted to a 2-week based shift, first half of the month are commissions, second half is dedicated to the comic. All went very well till I fell victim to the hacker, but I feel like I can be back on track soon enough, so all your help is very much appreciated.
Trias~
AND BTW THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR BEING OVER 10.000!!!!!!!

Be careful out there, folks!
Scum shouldn't be allowed like that!
I also had my og Discord hacked by some dumbfuck too. Took a month to get it back.
Either case be on the look out and as soon as he asks you to try the game quickly just block him, remove the account from friend lists, report him. And if its one of your friend's accounts alert them of this hack IMMEDIATELY!
Its a shame for what happend and hopefully there will be a way to recover them but that may take some time.
Its a learning curve, albit a very sharp one.
Sad that this resulted in another lost discord server too, but also encouraging to hear that you and Jack are already recovering from this.
The lesson learned here is to stay vigilant, if something seems off about a message, then it more than likely is.
Also sorry to hear it happened to you as well, one just can't be careful enough... yeah despite many such as myself panicking x.x
