Important Security Notice (Patreon)
Content
Hello, today one of the Lead Devs had their Discord account hacked. This is an unfortunate reminder that everyone should take common sense approaches to their Security.
- Never click on unfamiliar or unexpected links. If you leave Discord by clicking on a link that takes you elsewhere, it's possible that the external site can access your personal information. We recommend scanning any unfamiliar links through a site checker like Sucuri or VirusTotal before clicking on it. You may also consider running all shortened URLs through a URL expander to ensure you know exactly where you will be directed.
- Never download unfamiliar files from anyone you don't know or trust.
- Be careful about sharing personal information. Discord is a great way to meet new friends and join new communities, but as with any online interaction, protect yourself by only sharing personal information with people you know and trust.
- PLEASE activate 2 factor authentication on ANY important accounts. It helps a lot. It's a basic security step that can save you a lot of grief if someone tries to phish passwords from you. This is an important and somber reminder to practice security measures. It won't make you invincible, but it will help a lot.
Remember hacked accounts can target other discord servers they are a part of and friends. So please be diligent of any private messages and pings.
We are still trying to investigate the scale of this hack. If anything strange happens over the coming days, it may be a result of this hack. Please contact one of the Developers through Discord as soon as possible.
We will continue to keep you posted. Peace and Stay Strong.
