5 years in crypto. I have been pretty good at identifying, helping and avoiding links, scam people, wallet drains etc.
Photos for evidence of person
To be clear. None of my wallets were breached. My emails are safe. I have 2 factor on them plus 2 factor on my coinbase and anything important. None of these were compromised thankfully. Before I even tried this, I deleted all my wallets off my PC and moved all my funds to brand new wallets on a second phone I have at home, just because you never know in this space. So anything that would happen, no worries clean my pc, update scans etc.
I’m always weary so the links he sent for the game I did not click. I went to the main x acct, joined their discord.
7k ppl on there. All seemed normal. Game is in pre beta lots of testing and people just asking questions, reporting bugs etc. so I clicked the official links game went to their website. All normal no weird stuff.
Then the game wouldn’t exactly download. It froze over and over and when I got to actually have the pop up where it says play, the loading bar gets stuck 75% thru.
According to others only a handful of ppl said had same issue. Everyone else have been playing the game and just reporting feedback.
The guy who invited me was being very late on responses. They did a maintenance update and then he told me keep trying. Nothing worked.
Still get stuck at loading bar at 75%.
2 days of this.
This morning I was removed from the discord. Banned. I made new discord rejoined and complained. Instant ban. Then found out the original guy who messaged me on X, his acct was suspended. Shoulda been a red flag.
I go to my x acct. and there it is. Email changed and it’s a new name. Same username so they didn’t change that. Somehow they changed the email and phone number linked and I didn’t receive any notification.
All they got was my x acct. luckily.
I updated all my passwords and double checked all my 2 factors. All good. Then ran a malware scan.
For the first time in a year. It found 3 new threats. Coding was for a Trojan, ransomeare worm, etc it had a list of what they’re all called.
I quarantined them. Updated my subscription. Removed any weird files, found none. The game itself wasn’t even a file download. More like a temporary installer that doesn’t stay to your pc.
Idk how they got my x acct but that’s all they got. Posting this as a warning. Not for sympathy, who cares I lost an x acct. I’ve made a dozen by now. What’s a new one going to hurt?
Discord guy was name daan he was
confounder apparently.
Stay safe out there bloods.
