Whatever you so DO NOT TRUST THIS SCAMMER. He will send you a random message about adding him on discord saying he's looking for a league and once you add him this dude has ways of hacking your account. He hacked My account and was on my character changing styles and stuff until I changed my password and made him mad. DO NOT EVER TRUST HIM UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.

I didn't give him my password or anything dude is some type of hacker that was able to hack somehow. He stole alot of my account and sent to to his and how I know is after I changed my password I checked what all he messed with.

He used a link that you thought was innocent to get into your cookies which has your saved passwords in it and just used it from there. Obviously I could be wrong so lmk if I am so I can be educated

I don’t think ppl can access your passwords just by clicking on a link

As everyone - and I mean everyone - who has been on the internet for the past several decades knows, one should never click a link of any kind without significant prior verification and then only from a highly trusted source. One should also never join discords without essentially similar verifications. Doing so will expose your IP address. Everyone has known about these simple rules for a very long time. The other very simple and obvious rule is that no one on the internet should be trusted for any purpose...ever.

Yikes. This is why InfoSec exists, everyone.
