Beware this new malware that works through Discord

I tried Discord for some Onlyfans leaks that were posted on some group.

I have no kooking clue how Discord works and was left unsatisfied.

Left-hand side the icons are servers, then the left # and speaker icons are text channels, # means text, speaker icon means talk, middle is the selected # channel, right-hand side is other people on the server.
Super complex system.

Boomers may actually prefer Discord to other communications platforms. It kinda reminds me of IRC but with a lot more muscle.

I started using it about a year ago for a couple of games that I play and after a few initial teething issues I got quite hooked. The bots are awesome.
 
So what is the fix/workaround/no-nos/solution, seeing as Discord is the new staple since moving from Teamspeak a few years ago?
 
MalwareHunterTeam has discovered a remote access trojan (RAT) that uses Discord as its command and control server, Bleeping Computer reports.

The malware, known as Abaddon, begins its work by stealing cookies, credit card details, log-in details, discord tokens, and other important information – all of which is used to access the accounts of the victim.

So how is the RAT delivered? So far it looks like you probably need to add it as a bot that runs on your machine, so how is that different from downloading a random .exe of the internet?

So, apart from googling an image, do you use discord?

Yes, I have ~20 servers I'm part of, 4 are nitro (so premium).

Well the desktop looks clean but I downloaded the phone app and was a bit too "impatient" to figure it out. :whistling:

Aren't you a gamer? I'm no gamer but I've heard it is popular with gamer types.

Yeah but I never used it. Know it's popular for niche online games.

Lol niche games? Every streamer I watch uses it, every gamer I know uses it, it's not a niche thing. Teamspeak, steam voice, skype ect is niche for gaming. Discord was built for gamers in mind.

Yeah but what I meant was it's good for niche games that doesn't have a huge fanbase to organise with each other and get more life out of their games.
 
Since COVID, we use Discord at the University all the time for group collaboration and meetings.
