Discord Hacks and Scams Are Becoming Popular, Be Carefull Following Links On Discord

<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Discord is a popular tool to use for projects to post updates and communicate with their community. It's extremely common for new projects to make giveaways on Discord to promote their project and their product. The "early birds" normally are giftted with some free tokens or NFTs for being there to test things from the beggining.</p> <p>The problem we are facing now is that Discord groups are getting hacked and the hackers are taking control of them. The last one was Indigo protocol on Cardano's blockchain, a very popular platform in Cardano's ecosystem.</p> <p>What happens is that the hacker takes control of the Discord and starts to do giveaways of NFTs for example, when the user connects his wallet to the website, the wallet gets drained and the funds are stollen. Users normally aren't aware that it's a scam because they think that it's the team behind the project that is doing an airdrop for their users. Allways evaluate if a situation is to good to be true or atleast don't rush in, feedback might be provided in other social media that the Discord was hacked.</p> <p>These type of scams are starting to appear from everywhere and might catch the first users who connect their wallet with their guard down, because of the trust they have on the project.</p> <p>It's important to always use a burner wallet when interacting with this type of things, never use your main wallet to participate in giveaways or airdrops or something alike. It might save you a lot of trouble.</p> <p>Again, be very carefull if some discord starts to do something unusual, it might be in control of hackers. It might happen to popular groups, this isn't something that it's restricted to scam projects, this might happen to a legit and extremely popular project.</p> </div><!-- SC_ON -->   submitted by   <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/speedfire21"> /u/speedfire21 </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/172a7nc/discord_hacks_and_scams_are_becoming_popular_be/">[link]</a></span>   <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/172a7nc/discord_hacks_and_scams_are_becoming_popular_be/">[comments]</a></span>
