How Can I Stay Secure After My Discord Account Was Hacked?
Asked by

I recently had a frustrating experience where my Discord account was hacked, and it sent out spam messages. I managed to change my password and removed all the authorized apps and devices connected to my account. I also have two-factor authentication enabled. Given these steps, am I relatively safe now?

It really depends on how your account was hacked in the first place. For instance, if there was any malware, like a RAT, on your computer, you might not be completely secure yet. Do you have any idea how they got access? Itโs usually linked to something specific, like installing malware or having easily guessable passwords.

Yeah, as long as youโve revoked access from whatever method they used to hack you in the first place, you should be fine. Make sure to investigate how they got in originally.

You should be okay! Just in case, if you aren't already, consider switching to an authenticator app for your two-factor authentication instead of relying on email. Also, itโs a good idea to check if any of your other accounts might have been compromised too.
