hello
Can I copy this
``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:
- Hijacked accounts DM you or send messages in a server with a server invite.
- 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.
- 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?
- Immediately change your Discord password.
- 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?
