Amouranth reveals Discord hack
On January 3, the Playboy bunny said her server would be “undergoing renovations” after a number of her fans found themselves suddenly banned. However, she further expanded on this by revealing the whole story.
“The truth is the Discord was hacked. But we are trying to restore it,” she said on Twitter while tagging Discord asking for some support. Furthermore, she stressed that anyone who was banned was not “actually banned” and the Twitch star is looking to restore the channel to its former glory. https://twitter.com/wildkait/status/1478060287047647235 Looking at her Discord, the “general chat” was restarted on January 3 with users discussing the hack. According to some on the server, a hacker kicked the mods from the channel and “took over everything” to spam links to their own channel.
Eventually, Amouranth and one of her assistants took care of the threat, but trying to fix everything is taking some time. “That was SO CRAZY to see what was happening here in real time,” one user commented. “I was really confused when [I] saw 36 pings, but after I checked the server, I knew exactly what happened,” another wrote.
