First the interview, then the phishing attack

Discord has become a popular target. In May, a third-party service provider's system was compromised and data exposed in the breach included user email addresses, customer service messages, and attachments.

In some cases, Discord administrators were told to open what turned out to be a malicious Carl verification – a Carl-bot is a legitimate tool used by Discord members – and to add bookmarks that included malicious code. A"Drag Me" button on the page contained malicious JavaScript code that steals the user's Discord authentication tokens.

After getting the permissions, the miscreants then move to establish persistence in the attacks, including removing other account administrators and making themselves the administrator, enabling them to continue stealing data.
