Scam Alert
Today around 10:30 PST a bot army invaded the Hive Discord and tried to push this garbage down our throats in private DMs.
Just a reminder:
Never trust security issues like this from sources like Discord. This is why we have cryptographic security. Legitimate messages like this will always be posted directly to the blockchain via trusted accounts.
Gee, I wonder who is doing this...
That's about as far as my speculation goes.

I wonder if anyone has downloaded and looked at the code yet?
Not sure if any of the devs want to even put any effort into it.
The obvious play is to steal active/owner keys.
Good point. It could provide insite into security or users at least but probably not a very profitable endeavour.
It was me, suckers! :P
I knew it!
How many users did you trick?
Was it zero? I bet it was zero huh?
Anyone tech-savvy enough to use a GitHub repo wouldn't fall for it :D
Reason Number 473 why I don’t use Discord and avoid it like the plague.
Perhaps not a valid reason, but that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
Resteemed as this seems like one of those scams that people fall for - enough official Hive-looking to actually click a link or two. Thanks for raising awareness!
