Name-and-Shame Scams on Discord

Scammers are sending Discord messages with phony accusations to trick users into clicking on phishing links, according to Shan Abdul at MakeUseOf. The messages are sent from compromised accounts to the accounts’ friends lists, so they appear to be coming from a trusted friend. The messages tell the user that their account has been posting shady things, and asks them to click on a link for proof.
