D..X Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 JakeopToday at 8:32 This is very important, please read this for your own account safety. Discord recently introduced logging in via QR code, which is pretty handy when the desktop version randomly decides to log you out. However, as you may have noticed, a small exploit exists, as reported by the user "johnisaunicorn": NEVER and I mean NEVER scan a QR code for Discord-related gifts or prizes, including Nitro giveaways, through the Discord mobile app, EVER. You are NOT redeeming the "prize", you're giving someone FULL access to your account, regardless of 2FA. Until Discord adds a notice to their app, you'll have to be extremely cautious about this. PSA to the folks who are moderators in other servers: If you see someone posting a QR code in your server and claiming it gives Nitro, DELETE IT. Be sure to spread the word to everyone you know. This is a serious flaw with Discord's login system, and there's probably a lot of people losing accounts to this scam. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
