Sorry to hear about that. Getting a bunch of accounts hacked would be the polar opposite of fun. I'm glad you've been able to recover most of your accounts.
And thanks for sharing some security tips. I'm pretty careful about my online security, but there are a few adjustments I might want to make.
Discord's security has as many holes as a block of Swiss cheese. I can think of at least four or five different MFGG friends who've had their accounts compromised in the past year or so.
I urge extreme caution when clicking on any links to external sites shared on Discord. When I get a sketchy link from a friend, or a message that doesn't feel right, I ask my friend to message me on another platform (like MFGG) and provide some piece of nonpublic information that only a real friend would know. For example, if it was a former classmate, I might ask them what class we took together. These steps might not be sufficient to determine if an account hasn't been compromised, but in my experience, asking these questions will make a scammer immediately end the conversation, thus confirming that the account has been compromised.
I always use the browser version of Discord. Do you think for a Windows user, the desktop version is safer than the browser version, or vice versa? Do you think any browser is less bad than the others when it comes to protecting against this kind of attack?
