Hackers steal millions of Discord IDs and email addresses in "deliberate, multi-stage attack" on security service Double Counter
4 days ago by inclementimmigrant to c/games
Just think, the next data breach will now include your government issued ID!
Honestly just save it to your phone, it’s needed on lemmy so much
Here's a trick, save a comment of the gif, then you can copy the markup of the gif that's already been uploaded
Set a keyboard shortcut to &rachelmamdani to replace that with the markup, and it’s at your fingertips!
Could even shorten it to &rm!
I was worried that Discord became secure. I had nothing to worry about it seems.
Basically, it’s the worst Discord hack via a third-party service provider since the last Discord hack via a third-party service provider, which occurred almost a year to the day ago – spooky!
LOL wow that thing that everyone said would happen, happened. Again.
Stop using Discord. Migrate to matrix https://joinmatrix.org/
It is. People just need to use an app that actually cares about good UI like Cinny/Sable. Element is trash.
Sable has every feature I could want and then some
I tried stoat, but I couldn't create the same community that I had on Discord that I had set up, so I haven't tried to move everything there. Honestly, if there was a Discord alternative that functioned similar, I would move there tomorrow, but there really isn't. And there's no easy way to mirror the content from Discord to the other place so people can see the activity.
I've been liking stoat, I only really used discord to communicate with my friends and luckily they were nice enough to humour me with making an account, so now stoats pretty much all I use, even if my friends are still using discord on the side
Firstly, it already is. It depends on what client you use.
Secondly, no they wouldn't. Even when all the work is done for them, nobody moves because nobody cares even when they say they do.
Happy with Fluxer. :)
Thank god everyone was kept safe by this...
Discord is less a messaging platform these days as just like an open source data aggregation service for cyber criminals. It's like they have a huge data leak every 6 months or so.
Deleted my Discord a long time ago since I rarely used it, the only thing that sucks is when trying to do game jams with others it’s the only option, so I haven’t been able to do any…
But still this is better than having Discord.
idk, I only see discord links when checking game jam community pages, and since I don't have a need for a chat app I've never investigated any alternatives
Double Counter essentially acts as a bouncer bot for Discord servers
If you give a Discord Bot sensitive data, I'm sorry but you're clearly the issue. Bots are software, you (hopefully) wouldn't download a random piece of software from an untrusted souce and give it access to your sensitive data and you should apply the same level of caution when it comes to Discord Bots too.
You are victim blaming. Should they have been more cautions with handing over their data, yes. But the fact that they have to, is representative of the bad state of society. It is the fault of the company, people or systems that where trusted by the communities to properly protect it against evil actors. If they cannot protect that data, they shouldn't have gathered it in the first place. And for that they should get punished properly and should recompense all victims. They should no longer be in business.
Civilization is built on trust, and if that trust erodes, civilization does too.
And yet Discord still blocks using anonaddy addresses to sign up.
Obligatory https://stoat.chat/ recommendation
Nah, go to Fluxer, it's better and it's getting Federation support
I feel that
discord is a shit tier platform filled with pedophiles.
Discord is out there tripping itself over, quietly poking TeamSpeak “hey, maybe you could make a comeback to break our VoIP monopoly?”, meanwhile TS sits it out quietly developing at a snail’s pace.
Then we’ve got Stoat, Fluxer, and what’s not currently the trending obscure alternative (think like Guilded was too). They’re all too obscure, and most of time these apps are unsigned & lack notarisation so their code safety is a matter of “trust me” (a wise person doesn’t install random junk on their PC, regardless of it being FOSS or not - one rogue maintainer is enough to bring risk; unless they’ve gone even half as serious as Debian or other highly reputable FOSS). Adding to their obscurity, I doubt anybody is going to materialise new friends into existence by sheer willpower, will they?
Unless something happens that makes the casual Discorders jump off their platform, these hiccups are largely irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. Yes, they’re serious. No, they still won’t make people ditch Discord - at worst they’ll keep obscure platform XYZ for contacting friend group 1, and still use Discord for their daily communities and acquaintances who don’t keep up with any tech news (like privacy leaks) at all.
That’s just some food for thought, I’m not actually going to debate about what I wrote (no time for such things!) Nevertheless, I sincerely hope Discord flops over, and a bunch of better alternatives appears.
Oh no!!
...wait nevermind I already deleted my account a long time aggo.
People still use Discord?
Did nobody learn anything from the last time this happened?
...oh well i can't get all my friends to-
Your identity just will be stolen.
Discord is too juicy a target, "cybersecurity" doesn't actually exist, one of their vendors will fuck up.
You're just fine with that, huh?
Your idiot chucklefuck 'friends' are worth that?
Unfortunately when you reach the level of ubiquity that Discord managed, it’s very difficult to convince people to get off of it. Twitter, Reddit still managing to exist is proof that the majority, the vast majority of people just cannot be bothered.
I personally know people that profess to be (and for all intents and purposes are) progressive individuals and they still use the child porn fascism app Twitter, I know people who are still glued to the opinions coming off of the data stealing AI hell-hole Reddit. The average person just can’t be bothered to make the change, they come up with any excuse under the sun to avoid it.
It’s unfortunate but it is the way it is, all you can do is continue to educate people you know, continue to point to alternatives and continue to make that alternative a desirable place to be. Almost everyone has that one vice they just can’t give up, it’s generally hypocritical to attack others for something they can’t give up when we’re all guilty of something else. All we can do is try our best.
So many reddit adjacent communities moved to discord after the Redditpocalypse that I can't say I'm surprised. I have a discord I don't actually use. It's a holdover from when I played D&D with work friends years ago.
Everything seems to have a discord. It's really popular these days.
@deliriousdreams @inclementimmigrant @sp3ctr4l Yes but discord seems unusable to me. Or maybe I am using it wrong.
Probably not a you thing. I've never been a fan of the place, I really hated the buggyness of the interface when I did use it. Open a notification? Stuck in that thread randomly because it won't let me access other threads or channels. Scroll back through a chat and it would get stuck if the chat is long enough, or bounce me back to the most recent message, etc. Search functions that only work some of the time. That kind of thing turned me off.
