Augh

If you saw "me" spamming a server or private messages on Discord, that was because my Discord got hacked.

Fortunately I got a bunch of messages from people letting me know, which meant I was able to change my password very quickly and recover my account. Pretty sure it was just Discord and not my email or anything which would have been way worse.

So now I'm setting up 2 factor authentication everywhere, updating passwords all over the place, etc. That was a super stressful hour or so last night and I would like very much to never repeat it again.

Arghhhh! I hate it, when that happens. As you said, you're never quite sure what has been hacked, so you have to change all the passwords. I have to use a spare address book to keep track of them all, nowadays.

Sorry you had such a stressful experience.
(It was all resolved by the time I was awake.)

🫂 I did see some notifications but then saw that they were very old threads and just clicked out.

Oh no! I'm glad it got resolved quickly!

[corvidology]

That's terrible! I'm glad you were able to cut it off before it got too bad!

Yikes! I'm glad you've got it back.

What a distressing thing to have happen -- I am glad it seems to have been limited in scope.

Sorry it was so stressful, but glad you got it resolved quickly!
