Games that Steal your Passwords and Discord Account!

Aka the "Download my game" scam :)
Discord scams come in many shapes and forms. And one of the most malicious ones is covered in a sweet package.

Imagine playing video games and getting paid for it on Discord? Well this dream will surely be crushed as you download malware that will steal your passwords. So instead of just worrying about a Discord scam that will steal your account (or maybe even a ROBLOX scam), you have to be concerned about every single account you made that has your password stored in Google.

Oops, been told that chrome_100_percent.pak files are unrelated to your chrome passwords. Instead that pak file is just resources used for the malware (which has a component made in electron).

So the passwords never get saved to the disk, rather they are uploaded to the attacker immediately, scary.

I had a similar scam before. I told the dude in Discord "Okay, give me a second to boot up my virtual machine and I'll try your game" and they immediately go "THE GAME DOESN'T WORK IN VIRTUAL MACHINES"

I feel like storing passwords in a Book and Quil in Minecraft is much more secure than saving passwords in a browser.

Boy howdy, i do sure love losing my password form a literally cursed game

The key to never falling for scams is to have trust issues and social anxiety! Can’t get scammed if you don’t talk to someone and on the off chance you do you don’t trust a word that comes out their mouth!!

Imagine your whole life only revolving around scamming people online. Absolute wastes of human lives.tragic

NTTS casually boosting the playerbase of Elderand by 800% in 10 minutes:

I am so glad you exist. About 20 minutes after you posted this video I got about 6 pings from different servers regarding this malware spread. You are an actual legend.

The archive file being password protected is a huge red flag. That helps prevent AV scanners from checking the archive out when you dl or first open it.

[paw-paddedcalamity]

My condolences to the Elderand devs for having their game being used as a fakeout for scams. To use such a specific indie game like that, that must feel pretty sucky.

Fell for 3 discord scams so far, going for the high score.

I HATE this particular scam. I'm currently working on a university assessment that does require me to get a wide range of people to playtest a game at the end, and I can't ask any of the communities I'm currently part of (and yes, I've checked) as a direct result of this scam.

[santosic]

Poor Elderand. I went to buy the game on Steam just to support them. Because it legit looks like a fantastic game, which is probably why it gets targeted so much. Thanks for raising awareness not just of the scam but also the original game.

[HiCringe]

The previous scams that you've covered seemed like things I'd instantly recognize as scam and avoid, but this one is pretty convincing for me, I would've fallen for it easily
So thanks for covering this, NTTS <3

Funny thing is, I fell victim to this around a month ago when one of my online friends messaged me asking to test a game and all my passwords and info got stolen. They also tried to buy Nitro on my account using my saved card info. Scary how 1 file can do all of this. I had no idea how this malware worked though until you made a vid on it. Good job 👍

[mokufreeman]

This one has been going around for awhile now.

Glad some awareness is being brought to the general public.

[slashgigawon]

i'm so glad i never fell for a discord scam

[Cuprite]

Only problem is that Discord has a track record for not bothering to solve issues in a timely manner. Hell, I've seen one case where a server owner got hacked cause of a scam similar to this one and they didn't respond for two whole weeks, leading to the server's deletion by the hacker.
I do not trust Discord to be competent, especially with where their priorities lie.
That being said, this is a good video for showing how this stuff works. I'm sure it'll be helpful for a lot of people (It's also just really interesting).
I feel bad for the dev(s) of Elderand tho, knowing this is a somewhat common occurrence for them. I can only imagine being in that position. .-.

[dizzymoon_j]

This man has taught me many things to protect my information and accounts, you are a hero.

[totallypaperbagger]

I used to be a victim of this, the worse that happened was my clients friend is an actual coder and is hijacked by this and mostly tricked most of their fans including myself thanks for spreading this information for everyone to be aware
