#hacking attack

I THINK I JUST GOT HACKED ON DISCORD BUT *HOPEFULLY* MANAGED TO GET THEM OUT BEFORE ANYTHING WORSE COULD HAPPEN?? 😭😭😭

I was just typing something when first suddenly my theme changed from light to dark/light/dark/light a few times which was already baffling

Next the app language suddenly changed to chinese/korean/chinese/korean (managed to take a screenshot while hurrying into the settings)

and while i was trying to 1) change back to english, 2) get into the right settings tab to log out any other devices and 3) change password to a safer one; some strange text in chinese was sent multiple times into the chat (tried looking it up but didnt find anything) along with some anime girl gif, some kpop boy gif and 2 cat gifs i had marked as favorites

THANKFULLY it was more scare than harm and I'd honestly wish to know what mistake caused this (was it really just a "not secure enough" password or did discord have security issues already or *are* hackers just getting more advanced or could my data be free flying somewhere for anyone to grab or what)

But just in case this'll happen to anybody else, start practicing navigating to these tabs as fast as possible (ESPECIALLY the Devices to log anybody else out asap) and also generally your Account > Password

I'm really not sure how risky Authorized Apps could be (I only had Patreon and "Not Quite Nitro" so idk if that's a risk; removed both) and Connections only had youtube and spotify; also removed those to be safe for now

I still keep going back into the Devices tab to be sure nobody returned, but I'm also figuring they were looking for people with Nitro memberships or connected bank data or anything and since I've got none of those right now, it was pretty useless (i hope so😭)

US army shuts website after hacking attack

The US army has temporarily taken down its website after a hacking attack. It says an element of the army.mil website was compromised and preventative measures had to be taken to ensure there was no breach of data. The Syrian Electronic Army – which supports President Bashar al-Assad – says it was behind the attack. Last week, the US said Chinese hackers had attacked federal government computers and may have compromised the records of four million employees. China denied any involvement and called the allegations “not responsible, and counterproductive”.

‘Enormous vulnerabilities’

On Monday, US Brig Gen Malcolm Frost, the chief of the army public affairs, said “the army took appropriate preventive measures to ensure there was no breach of army data by taking down the website temporarily”. Screen grabs posted on social media earlier showed messages on the website.
