Possible hack

in #hack • 8 hours ago

Just a super quick post I believe I may have been targeted in a hack my socials have been took over and my discord has been sending links. Please do not click any links and be cautious I'm currently racing against the clock changing passwords. Changing my hive keys and finding the root of wat caused this to happen.

Stay safe

Hi @chris-uk! I’m very sorry this is happening. Good grief!

Yes, I got a message from your Discord account this morning both in my DM and the UK Hive Friends server.

@steevc mentioned you had dropped a quick post about the hack.

As soon as you get it all settled, let’s get a back up way to stay in touch.

Just until it’s sorted allow me to kick the Discord user name until it’s safe again, then I’ll reinstate it or add your new one.

peakd chat may be safer if his keys are secure. Discord seems to be insecure.

Good idea. I hope he thinks to check there. I’m not in the habit of doing so, if I’m honest.

I hope you can sort it. We're likely to see more crooks going after crypto keys. There are some posting fake airdrops on Hive.

Your discord account is posting scammy stuff. You ought to try and fix that.

Follow up:

  1. On UK Hives Friends discord, I sent word to them the account is, as they call it, being impersonated.

  2. On CWH discord, I put the account on a 1 week time-out.

  3. On my DM, I’ve temporarily blocked the account.

I hope this helps buy you some time to sort it out. Take care, sweet friend. 😘

Ping me when it's resolved, and I will re-add you to Alliance & Terminal on Discord 🙂

I think that the solution might be to stop using Discord. I know I'm not being very helpful, but it works for me.
