Hackers publish login credentials of 2500 Discord users

  • What is Discord?


The Discord app works with desktop and mobile platforms, combining the features of a chat lobby, a message board, and a VoIP chatting system into one app that's not going to hog resources on your phone or PC.


  • What actually happened?
The published list included around 2500 email addresses and passwords belonging to Discord users. Hackers who published the list said that these credentials where phished from the users.

“This was no virus, worm or malware of any sort—it was simple old phishing site that utilized Discord's own moronic API to hijack these accounts,” the hackers wrote in a message on their website, Motherboard reported.

Along with the message, the hackers posted a database containing phished credentials, split into multiple sections of those that are valid and invalid credentials.

Motherboard verified the validity of login credentials and randomly selected a few email addresses in order to create new Discord accounts. However, this was not possible because the email addresses were already linked to an existing active Discord account.

  • The published list included around 2500 email addresses and passwords belonging to Discord users.
  • Hackers who published the list said that these credentials where phished from the users.


  • hOW TO BE PROTECTED FROM THIS SCAM?
  • It is always best to never open any email or attachment received from anonymous senders.
  • Researchers recommend to not reply to any email asking for login credentials.
  • It is also recommended to use two-factor authentication while login.
