Just few days to the Polygon upgrade, from MATIC to POL tokens on Sept. 4, the official Discord server got wrecked with scam links and promote fake support team. The result, users lost crypto and one confirmed losing more than $150,000 worth in ETH.
This breach is a huge red flag as the security on the discord server from the Polygon get hit this hard and demonstrate that this social app is vulnerable to many attacks.
The attack on the Discord and promotion of scam links tell us that Polygon team is neglecting their Discord social app and commiting mistakes that can cause users to lose money. The team should be prepared to receive this kind of attack as the upgrade is near and scammers gonna try their luck.
Scammers love to test Discord servers security, special the ones from big projects or foundations. Once they found a breach, they exploit it and use it on their own benefit. Just imagine: they tested the official Discord server security of Polygon and got, until now confirmed, $150K free as a Christmas gift and will keep testing it hard.
It's important if you use Discord servers to always be alert and not click dubious links, or better , don't click anything there that could let you lose assets. Let's be fair, Discord is full of scammers. Remember:
CONTENT IS KING!
