Weird story need help
I hope you listen to the full story and give me an answer, I’m currently struggling with anxiety.
Someone in my family got involved with a hacker group, especially regarding FiveM (the GTA roleplay servers). Anyway, the situation ended up with the rule that any server this person from my family joins will get DDoSed.
We decided to try changing the Discord account, and I gave this family member my second Discord account. The main question is: if it gets exposed and something happens, could I be the one to get the attack?

I’m worried because I heard that someone joined a server of this hacker group and spoke to one of them in a somewhat rude way, and then, ten minutes later, their device got hacked and they were never able to turn it on again.
Last question
can I learn cybersecurity in this server and how
GTA Roleplay servers? Uhh alrighty.
GTA doesn't use discord though
You'll be fine
GTA is peer-to-peer you'd just have to restart your router or something at worst
Unless I'm missing some kind of critical information about those games nowadays
As someone that's been heavily involved with FiveM, I can almost guarantee the person claiming this is a skid, and has absolutely no clue how to "hack".
At most, if they manage to get your IP, they could DDoS you using a shit booter or something.
For someone like that to do anything to you, you'd almost have to be trying to let them by downloading something they send you or joining their FiveM server. (Even then, CFX has patched most of the sandbox escape methods after the whole anti cheat fiasco)
The strange thing is that they were able to hack someone’s device through Discord only — how?
fivem isn't peer to peer, only the server owner could get any info on a player
Idek who FiveM are tbh I'll go look them up ig mb
I thought GTA Online stuff was p2p
multiplayer mod for gta 5. basically reconstructed network with a lua wrapper
Ah
you'd have to be dumb and download a file they send you or open some sketchy links or something
basically if you want to be safe, block them on discord and don't join any fivem servers they own and you'll 100% be fine.
Is there a vulnerability in Discord that allows them to obtain a person’s IP?
afaik, only if you click a link they send you. but that has nothing to do with discord honestly
if there was it would've been exploited by now
not to say it's not there but it's definitely not public information, either undiscovered or still for sale on a black market
yeah, and that shit would get patched fast the second it becomes slightly public :P
if the discord app itself was vulnerable enough for johnny mcskid to be able to use it, you or i would've gotten DMed our ip addresses loooong ago
Previously, I joined a server they were programming in FiveM, and surely the server files are on my device. It’s possible they planted a tracking virus or something similar in the FiveM files. If I delete the server files from my device, am I safe?
"and surely the server files are on my device" did you download any files?
from my knowledge of fivem, that's pretty unlikely.
BUT, it is possible.
so if you wanna be extra safe, clear the caches on your fivem client.
Not weird files it’s just the fivem server that they develop it
did you download any files?
if they joined a server, yes they downloaded a ton
Yeah but that's maps/resources only
but i have literally never heard of anyone managing to spread malware with that
Weird thing + the server is famous and 200 player joined it before
Yeah else that'll be a critical vulnerability
like i said, the sandbox escape shit was patched a while ago. so unless there's a new one that isnt widely known, its fine
Okay exactly guys what is the finale answer
You're fine
I already said. Block them on discord and dont join their fivem server. you will be fine.
worst case scenario you get ddos'ed (practically impossible) else just restart your router
ok can u explain this and you are amazing guys
I’ll repeat the short story that made me worried:
Someone joined a Discord room with a member of the hacker group and interacted with him in a rude way, then left the room. About ten minutes later, his device got hacked and he couldn’t turn it on again. How? It’s really puzzling.
look you can just say it happened to you
They’re not a “hacker group”. They’re a bunch of cringe skids.
we all make mistakes, our job isn't to judge you based on your mistakes
No no I heard this story from another guy I swear
i just want to help you dig yourself out of whatever hole you've gotten yourself in
alright then
in an ideal world, this person would most likely be best off just reinstalling windows
because if it's malicious enough to grab an IP address, it probably has some protection against antimalware
this person can try using windows defender to purge it, but chances are it's not going to work
a commercial antivirus might get a biiiit closer but i doubt it
They are all 17+
the other thing this person could try is limiting their windows defender firewall, since it's almost certainly an outgoing connection rather than incoming
not the point
Skids. Not kids. Skids = “Script kiddies”.
I know I mean skids are can’t do nothing just a free up stresser and something like that but what I saw explain another thing
fake
its a story for a reason lol
dawg its fivem
sir/madam you're clearly very scared right now, i think it's best that you shut down your computer for now and go get lunch/dinner
take a breather and slow down
:VicePray:
you're probably too young to play fivem anyway
lmao
Yeah, I was gonna write the same thing
you can come back when you've had some food and water
first take care of body, then your body can take care of you
You alright bruh
I’m just tired for hearing these things
i understand
but if you're tired, you should go rest
shut down your computer for now, no one is going to hack into your computer when it's shut down
Hacking and ddos and people that don’t scare from anyone
good idea
You know what
I have to learn these things bruh
It will help me in these days
But I have to go sleep now
it is good for you to learn these things, but it's much easier to learn on a full stomach
and with a restful mind
Thanks for helping all of u guys are amazing
How can I close the ticket
they dont get closed
