โ ๏ธ Discord Security Alert โ ๏ธ
There has been a sudden rise in Discord Session Hijack attempts appearing in this server and elsewhere. In an effort to keep everyone safe, we thought you should be aware of what to look out for.
A Session Hijack exploit allows an attacker to gain access to your Discord account regardless of any secure passwords or 2-Factor Authentication you may have.
If you receive Direct Messages, even from Friends, containing a link, contact them in a different way to confirm their identity or that the link is trustworthy as their Discord may have been compromised.
Links posted in Discord channels may not be what they appear to direct to. Discord allows Markdown on URLs which enables attackers to mask where the link is directing you.
If you are on PC/Mac, you can mouse over a link and see if it is actually going where it says it is (see screenshot example).
While we've increased security on this Server and all Moderators are watchful for such attempts, please exercise caution for links posted anywhere in Discord.
โ ๏ธ Do NOT click links in Discord without confirming it is safe first!
Example: www.google.com will NOT take you to Google's website.
