As a result, you’re not visiting Discord, you’re visiting something along the lines of dLscord instead (we’re using the uppercase L here purely for visual clarity). This is where they switch out the letter i, for an L in the URL. The others claim the recipient “has some Nitro left over”, tied to a URL which mentions billing and promotions. One claims a friend has sent the recipient a Nitro subscription. Those friends have likely been compromised earlier in the chain, and are now being used for malicious purposes.Īs for the messages themselves? They’re a mixed bunch. As the Tweeter points out, this is all being sent by friends. Note that this isn’t being sent from bots (as in, chatbots specifically coded to send spam links). Gonna dk something about this? Getting as bad as the bots on /QEvyoAj6Yt- That Vaxx'd Wolf From Hyrule October 3, 2021 All from friend accounts, all the same stupid language none of them use, all the same fake scam links. Here’s what some of the current messages going around look this is getting out of hand. The scammers are just banking on nobody checking before clicking the links. At one point, games were included in some of these deals, and those were a big target for scammers even after the games were no longer available. This is a paid Discord service which offers added functionality in the servers along with some other features. As is common with this kind of attack, they’re themed around “ Nitro”. Spam messages are sent to other Discord users. You definitely don’t want any of this clogging up the channels you use on a daily basis. Depending on the scam, they could also be used to send spam messages to an even bigger audience.

The entire system has been redesigned to allow multiple reactions to be added in rapid succession, and to preceding messages as well. They could stand to lose their gaming accounts, their logins for other services, some money, or perhaps a combination of all 3. This script adds a button in Discords text box that allows you to automatically add reactions to new messages in text channels for however long is specified.

While many gamers who know their stuff won’t fall for those kinds of things, plenty of others will. Next week it’ll be promoting crossover deals with a service which went out of business a year ago. This week it’ll be a bot promoting a “red hot” offer from 2018. Their purpose is to hit the channels and drift forever, spamming all and sundry until they get a few hits. You’ll also frequently see bots pushing offers for things which simply don’t exist anymore. The messages run the range of free games, discount sign-ups for services, or just plain old fake login screens. Service users can create bots, those bots can be invited into channels, and then they get to work spamming. You may recall we’ve covered a lot of Discord scams previously. Discord, a group text chat/VoiP app of choice for many gaming communities, is having a bit of trouble with phishing links. A number of bogus offers are doing the rounds in Discord land at the moment.
