What is the dispute about?
This isn't a typical dispute. You just don't have a category for it. This member has been going around on discord messaging an extremely sophisticated & malicious .exe to previous buyers on the pretense that it's for school. Honestly since it was Javascript I thought nothing of it at first since the game (snake) could be built on Javascript. Also thought nothing of it because this person is incredibly respected in here and I only had good interactions with them in the past.

Upon usage of the .exe: It forcefully logged me out of Discord, closed it, then reopened to try and get me to type in my password. That was a faux process. After immediately disconnecting my internet I attempted to figure out what it was doing.

Upon indepth examination of the .exe it is potentially backdoor built on axios, building its own http client, and using that to package and send itself data.

Why is this worth mentioning? Virustotal won't detect anything nor will any major av software that's not on VirusTotal. Backdoors don't get detected that well. And with how sophisticated this was and how it almost tricked me entirely into thinking it was only after discord (which it didn't want in the first place).

Other details / notes:
This is more like a comment. I've spent my entire day so far figuring out what this was to figure out if any sensitive material (work related) was affected.

I've also reported it to the discord safety team as well as Google, and every server I share with this person.

For further information on the hack used against me:

It does not hack my discord it simply uses that as a mask to make me think it was (found that out after about 190k lines into the code).

Somewhere in the 200k range i found this out: In the background it is essentially makes my system into a node, discreetly sending all sorts of information into packed files to a couple dozen pgps. Looking at the sophisticated code it was made and released publicly to script kiddies hence all of the comments (the '//' is a comment) so even children could understand without needing to understand the code. And they're given instructions that only "this and this" needs to be changed. Whereas really, all of my sensitive information is being sent to the creator of the back door.

That means any accounts I have sold may or may not be compromised. I THANKFULLY never saved any of my clientele's log in information so they're all safe from the looks of it. I also haven't finished checking the sheer amount of damage it cause in the 11 minutes it was connected to the internet.

I have a lot of sensitive information on my computer especially an unreleased MMORPG (that's currently being worked on by myself) and if that got out I would suffer approximately 15 million USD in damages just on what I have. That's not including what I have access to.

So let's cross our fingers and hope they didn't get any of that.

What you got to lose access to your discord was most likely a phishing link. You can only stay safe by examining the link and not blindly clicking any. Only AV software that actively scans web pages when opening them will catch that and not all do. Most actually dont.

What happened to me wasn't a discord hack or a virus, but a backdoor to my system. It won't get picked up by AV software. So thankfully I work as a game developer or they would have gotten away with A LOT more than 11 minutes of internet being up.

As I previously said though, I don't know the extent of the damage yet. If it even remotely touched the unreleased MMO then I will be facing 15 million USD in losses and a decade of work.

I will admit it is my fault for not examining the .exe before clicking it, but most if not all hacks on discord aren't nearly this sophisticated.

If you clicked that link and logged in again, that means its still affecting you. Whats under that initial discord "hack" is actually by far more malicious than you think. You need to turn off your internet to your computer, backup important files, and wipe your system.

It's not detected as a Trojan. It's not detected at all. I had to manually dig through the code to figure out what it was.
ah ok i see that
sorry it cause so much trouble


think im gonna reinstall my PC and hope my discord recover soon

Sorry again for the trouble

There's no way for us to track how many and who would be affected and quite simply its not our area to be caring of it either since its not our platform that its been shared around on.

You'll need to contact discord support and be hopeful that they do something to stop it, but I'm doubtful.

I believe Tazsa is not the original sender of this and its most likely someone not even on our platform so im going to move this to a more suitable sub forum.

I encourage you guys to continue discussing regardless so others can be warned.
