New Discord Phishing Scam

[Russ|Devil]

Discord recently introduced logging in via QR code, which is pretty handy when the desktop version randomly decides to log you out.

However, as you may have noticed, a small exploit exists, so I'll say this upfront:

NEVER and I mean NEVER scan a QR code for Discord-related gifts or prizes, including Nitro giveaways, through the Discord mobile app, EVER. You are NOT redeeming the "prize", you're giving someone FULL access to your account, regardless of 2FA. Until Discord adds a notice to their app, you'll have to be extremely cautious about this.

 

This is a serious flaw with Discord's login system, and there's probably a lot of people losing accounts to this scam.

 

TLDR: There’s a big phishing scam going on now. Since discord recently added this new feature that allows you to log in using QR codes and people are disguising these QR codes as free Discord Nitro invitations. Those who have two-factor authentication on their accounts are NOT safe from this. Please be wary of any DMs you receive from people you don’t know!
