``QR code phishing

Got a DM from someone with an invite link saying they saw you sending "****" stuff and will be blocking you? It is most likely a phishing attack to hijack your account!

How it works:

  1. Hijacked accounts DM you or send messages in a server with a server invite.
  2. A bot asks you to verify to access the server by clicking a verify button. This bot is usually called "Wick" but can be other "Verification" related names.
  3. Clicking the verify button shows a QR code, and tells you to scan it with your Discord app. Scanning the QR code with your mobile app gives them access to your account.

What do I do if I scanned a malicious "verification" QR code?

  1. Immediately change your Discord password.
  2. Delete any messages you have sent containing the malicious server invite to prevent spreading it.

Main takeaways
Do not scan any QR codes with your Discord app you see in a server or from a bot.

The only time it is safe to scan a QR code is when you are logging into Discord and you are 100% sure you are on discord.com and not a different website.

If you receive any of these DMs, please message @!BP Modmail with screenshots and the user ID.`` and send it to my server?
