Discord hack resolved, everything is safe (relatively)
Added 2024-07-15 14:20:46 +0000 UTCHey hey
It was a very rough weekend for me. As most of you know, my discord account was hacked on Friday and that compromised everything. The hacker attacked the discord server and banned a few people that were active at the time, but thankfully, Discord restored my account relatively quickly. I didn't interact with the hacker in any way and, apparently, he let go of things pretty quickly after that.
I spent most of the weekend reinforcing security in everything and always watching to make sure that things continued to be fine. As I previously announced, I had cut connection between Discord and Patreon soon after it happened to keep things and everyone safe. Now it's been long enough that I feel safe restoring so people can get their discord benefits again.
So, there it is. Everything should be safe now, but just in case continue to be wary. Don't trust anything suspicious I might say just in the very low chance that I lose the account again somehow, and especially not anything I link or ask you to download. I don't think I'd have much reason to do that anyway, especially through PMs.
I want to apologize for the inconvenience it caused anyone and the danger and discomfort it brought. Hopefully we'll never go through something like this again.
As I said, I've restored the connection between Patreon and Discord again just now, so everyone should be getting invited back to the server and getting their roles back. If anyone doesn't or gets a wrong role, is missing access or anything like that, feel free to PM me here on Patreon and we'll get it fixed. Sorry again for the inconvenience!
Oh, and finally, I also wanted to thank you all for being understanding and supportive when I made the quick announcement to everyone that it happened. Those were turbulent times and I was rushing to safeguard as much as I could, but I really appreciate the messages. <3 You're all amazing!
Thank you!
