Dropping the ball on the stacker of the week
(1)
Oh man sorry folks dropped the ball on this one, 6 days ago my Discord got hacked again! I was really fed up that this happened now with upgraded security measures, I don't know what the deal is maybe the hackers figure the bitcoinman could be a good target and know how to exploit discord security, I am not really sure.
Anyway at the time I was just not having it and I was like fuck it I am getting rid of this discord shit, in my state of anger not fully seeing everything that would come with that.
There was some growing pains without discord but I was making it work for the most part until now when its Friday at 8 and it hit and I get to working on my Stacker of the week post when I realized I can't do it without discord 🤣
I am very sorry about this oversight folks, I am gonna get back into discord and stuff but I will make a brand new account with some random name as I am too paranoid after this 2nd time.
In the grand scheme of things it's for the best although it sucks at least it was only discord, after this 2nd hack I have been reevaluating and beefing up my security.
I was already in a process of getting a brand new dedicated mini laptop for hive and shared about it in a post unfortunately that did not work out and the laptop was dead on arrival I am getting something else and hopefully it will come soon, I also ordered a physical google 2fa key now just to be extra safe
I will try to get things sorted with a new discrod so I can keep the stacker of the week going

Hey, maybe the hackers got your footprints like the OS, device type, and also your preference of either using it via browser or app. Can't you find another way to resolve this Discord hack issue? Maybe you can try contacting your local cybersecurity team and share the methods they suggest because I'm having paranoia myself that my Discord is hacked. Help!
To he honest I have no clue, why or how exactly this happened, either way I personally have not seen many discord hacks before beside my own so that's why I said maybe they targeted the name, there are some other more prominent personalities that share the name bitcoinman I know of at least one that paid me $500 for a Facebook page I made called bitcoinman back in the day. You should be alright just change your password add your phone and set up 2fa that's the practical things you can do, I will be writing more about this kind of thing
I added the 2FA to my Discord account via the Google Authenticator application. I am waiting for your blog post on how to protect your Discord account, as it will really help me tighten the security of my Discord account.
Discord really seems like it has terrible walls for security. I hate that it’s basically necessary for hive stuff. I personally use signal for communication. Discord security seems like a joke.
Maybe chose a different and less-likely-to-attract-hackers kind of name like ...Dookcoinman?

We really appreciate you taking on stacker of the week, but 100%, fully understand that the hassle of being hacked takes precedent.
Hopefully, you can get those things sorted, and back to posting SoTW. Its a great way to showcase some of our communities stack, and help spread our messages of the importance of holding precious metals.
I'm back on discord now under a new name of you can add me back would appreciate ❤️ https://discord.gg/D6m2n5cU
I knew you’d be back 🤣
Same happened 2 me overlooking the importance of discord for Hive stuff. It shouldn’t be necessary but it kinda is like missed votes or post promotion or future contests stuff. I only use it for SGS most part and I also came back.
Just change account name, its definitely a extra target 🎯
I'm back now with a more lame name hopefully no hacker will be interested in this one 🤣
Jokes aside I think having bitcoin in name really did make u target 🎯. Hopefully didn’t happen again 👍
I hear that, I hope that is the end of it with a new account if this shit getting hacked it's back to the caves for me
