[QUOTE="Atlas147, post: 878565, member: 25728"] The first attack mainly focuses on getting users to install discord through a tampered installer, quite a basic premise of other software that requires you to install files as well. Bottom line for this is only install discord through official releases on their site. The second attack focuses on social engineering, where phishing links are sent via discord. Again quite a simple premise that many other instant messaging apps can fall prey to, even telegram, whatsapp or signal. Bottom line is don't open any strange links that people you don't personally know send you, even if you've supposedly "won" $1 000 000. I don't think completely faulting discord on these 2 attacks are justified, yes they should be able to do more to prevent this, however it's also your own responsibility as a user to check the installer file you have is from a reputable source and also the links you click in the app are from someone you know.
