The Xbox Incident – misusage of our community name

Recently, our community has faced a troubling issue: scammers misusing our name to target innocent players, particularly those on Xbox. These scammers create fake accounts and use deceitful tactics to trick unsuspecting individuals. Often posing as official community representatives, they lure victims into sharing sensitive information, such as login credentials, using a fake verification bot. Their goal is to exploit the trust and familiarity associated with our community’s name for malicious purposes.

Challenges with Discord Support

Despite our best efforts to address this problem, we’ve encountered challenges in getting platforms like Discord to take swift action. We’ve repeatedly contacted Discord to report these scams and request action. Unfortunately, our efforts have not yielded satisfactory results. Discord’s response has been slow and generic, failing to effectively address the immediate threat posed by these scammers. This lack of responsiveness from major platforms like Discord can be frustrating and leaves communities vulnerable.

What to Do if You Receive a Suspicious Message on Xbox?

If you receive a suspicious message on Xbox, we strongly suggest you ignore the message and report the user. Xbox staff are aware of the increased amount of bots and are actively working to remove them. An example of how such a message would look like is shown on your right.

Protecting Yourself from Remote Access Trojans (RATs)

If you found us through a Google search, consider yourself lucky—you may have dodged a bullet. Having a Remote Access Trojan (RAT) on your device can be incredibly frustrating and time-consuming to remove. Moreover, it can be a significant security risk, as it can steal all your valuable information.

A RAT is more than just random malware. This small-sized file can do much more than steal your login credentials. Always be cautious about clicking on links sent through Discord, especially if you do not trust the source. Even if a friend sends you a link to a new Discord server, they might have fallen victim to this nasty RAT.
