But did you know that this is not new? This may not be as common as X (formerly known as Twitter) hack but we have reported many hacks that someone's discord server would be hacked by hackers and be used to do some malicious things that can lead to theft of victims coins. I even posted some on this forum in the past. It is very possible that it might now be on the rise, people need to be very careful.
It is just another form of social engineering attack, it is absolutely not new or newsworthy.
Thank you for the headsup, considering I am an active user of Discord.
Discord is a very bad place, full of malware and scammers and it violates your privacy too. I would not recommend using Discord on the same machines you use crypto.
