Hot Take:

What do hackers and teenagers have in common? An unhealthy obsession with Discord. This gaming-focused chat platform has gone from a haven for passionate Among Us debates to a playground for advanced persistent threat (APT) hackers. With Discord's security measures proving as effective as a chocolate teapot, threat actors are having a field day distributing malware, stealing passwords, and exfiltrating data. So, next time you open Discord, remember: It's not just your teammate in Fortnite you need to worry about, it's the cybercriminal lurking in the shadows too.
