Avalanche Discord Compromised—Fake Token Scammers Strike Again

Following the hack of the Polygon Discord server, Avalanche’s official X account (@avax) alerted the public that their Discord channel had also been breached. “SECURITY ALERT,” Avalanche announced. “The official Avalanche Discord has been compromised. Please do not interact with any accounts or click any links until further notice.” Just like the Polygon Discord breach the day before, the Avalanche scammers posed as admins and shared links to a fake “AVAX Token Distribution” scam. Naturally, many criticized Discord for its security measures and overall user experience. “Name a worse social platform than Discord from a UX perspective. I’ll wait,” one person replied to the Avalanche X account following the news.
