Security News > 2022 > June > Scammers Target NFT Discord Channel

Attackers are targeting the Discord servers of several popular nonfungible token projects.

According to Fraser, Discord API leaks "The name, description, members list, and activity data for every private channel on every server." He explained he stumbled on the issue while setting up an automated script to notify him anytime a user enters a certain keyword.

Another tweet was shared by PeckShield, a blockchain cybersecurity firm, warning users about compromised NFT Discord Server of Memeland, RTFKT, PROOF/Moonbirds and infrastructure company Cyberconnect.

A team member of Memeland noted, "a discord bot seems to be compromised across various high profile servers." The mee6 bot is used by the server owners to automate welcome messages and inform about the server rules, events and topics.

According to Motherboard, the compromised Discord server bot can cause devastating results, as an adversary can post a malicious link disguising as an automated bot and allure users to open it, one wrong click can cause irreversible damage to individual earnings, and a hijacked Discord server can pose threat to a large audience.

The string of attacks against the NFT discord channel continues in recent months.
