Case Study: How the scammer tried to hack my discord

I had a scammer reach out and i wanted to share an example of what they may say to try and hack a project mod/team’s discord ⚠️⚠️ 

1. Quickly offering an enticing compensation to peak your interest.

This scammer was offering me ~$3K a week.

2. Zero requirements to get ‘started’

3. Offering a fun title with no request for experience/interviews/questions…anything?

hello community manager 👋

4. Requesting you to hire more mods so you bring in more candidates for them to scam 👀

5. The scammer asked to jump on a chat instead, when i told them i wanted to stay anon, the conversation was over.

6. BUT, a glimmer of hope continues as I received a message from another ‘team member’ the next day

interesting how the discord members differ even though its the same project 👀

It could likely be possible that these scammers use a projects name to line up their story, but you can never be too careful.

technical break down here 👇

1/? MUST READ NFT PROJECT OWNERS BE CAREFUL

Successfully IP Logged the attackers.

There is an ongoing attack targeting NFT projects, the attack works by social engineering owners into collaborating with a “legitimate” NFT project (fake site, botted discord, botted twitter)

lets recap the basic frens:

don’t click links
don’t allow DMs
don’t share screens
don’t enable webhooks
enable 2FA 

…but even so, we’re all human & its shitty that there are people in this space that preys on others to social engineer a hack.

lets all spread more awareness and stay safe 💛
