Notes[]
i'm not admin anymore LOL but i'm making this bc the misinformation is getting out of hand!! i'd really appreciate it if you'd share this blog to anyone who is concerned about their own account safety, or curious as to what actually happened for these users to have their accounts taken over by the same individual. pls stop spreading rumours and announce the correct information if you have any position of influence on a group of players (e.g. instajammer, discord server moderator) or even just your own friends.
What happened?[]
There are active players getting their accounts hacked into and used to advertise the following message: "IF YOU WANNA- LEARN HOW TO GET INTO BIG INACTIVE AJS ADD DISS NOW: ajpcaj"
By adding the advertised username on discord, as a result of being curious of hacks and following 'ajpcaj' 's DMed instructions, they have compromised their own account. Unsure what the rules are in any other discord server, but i am aware for this wiki's discord server you will be banned as a result of attempting to seek information to breach other people's accounts.
What did they get sent?[]
Friending the discord account 'ajpcaj' will not cause any damage to yourself or your account. Reading the text that they send you will not cause any damage to you or your account. The text file they send includes a downloadable ZIP file that contains an infostealer. this is how they steal accounts from people who have downloaded their program.
What the DMS look like:
What the text file and ZIP file they ask you to download looks like: (note: it is unzipping the zip file that allows for the infostealer to enter your device.)
In attempting to download it, your firewall will likely attempt to do what it was designed to do: and protect your device. However, the instructions in the text file tell you to disable this because 'you forgot to unzip the file', and make you download winrar (a harmless file unzipper, yet harmful when used for these purposes) to bypass your security.
Your laptop is telling you you're downloading something terrible? nah. 'you forgot to unzip the file'.
Upon downloading the file, you would practically give the hacker access to all your info
But can I get hacked interacting with the player?[]
No. Whoever is telling you they got hacked, and their account is sending "IF YOU WANNA- LEARN HOW TO GET INTO BIG INACTIVE AJS ADD DISS NOW: ajpcaj", 100% got curious and followed this method. They did not get hacked through interaction or confrontation. The advertisement is bait so that they can steal your items. They then use your account to continue doing the same thing.
Why is everyone telling me different things?[]
There's a lot of rumours going around right now, and I'm aware that a lot are originating from hacked victims who are trying to lie and claim that they didn't get curious and want to learn how to breach other people's accounts. If you're a victim of this hack, identifiable by the hacker's message, this is the only method that specific person uses to get into accounts, so it's impossible to lie and say 'you were targeted'.
What do i do if i've pressed it?[]
Firstly I don't blame everyone for saying that's on you because... it really is. But wipe/reset your pc or do your own research on how to remove the programs from task manager. And don't spread misinformation ..!
bye and errrm stay safe[]
i hope after reading this you don't jump to conclusions and easily believe what someone might say without proof or a complete narrative. please also go and do your own research on internet safety / read this account safety guide that's very useful. involves steps on how to get your 2020 breach info off public sites. also feel free to add anything regarding this, just lmk - i tried to piece it together as informatively as i could <3
