itch.io

also: there’s a discord user Id grabbed and such of said person who sent the phished site if that helps. 

which isn’t fair at all . Of course they were cautious generally speaking but never expected a site they used for long time in development,

To be what blindsided them. 

would you be able to give official statement to help the person bringing awareness about said scam and how they’ve been phished? Cause they could lose discord and $1,000 as a result 

To help give more context: The person has always been careful and regularly visited this site to help friends who are game developers test stuff. Since link was itch.io and their familiarity with their site being nothing but a positive experience, they decided to help playtest like they usually do.

Now they lost one grand in nitro gifting due to the phish and they no longer are helping anyone with playtesting. And it hurts more that the dms and such came from a friend of theirs that even they aren't sure anymore if its their friend now or compromised, hence they blocked said user. Something needs to be done.

Helping someone spread the word of how they had found themselves in phishing incident and the phisher used this site to distribute(screenshot shows of where user got phished and it started sending out said link to people. The phisher deleted their message but you can clearly see in convo that person tried to get the other to play game and it worked)

This is an insult to game developers and can only hurt those wanting to help playtest now that this occurred and the fact that Discord has yet to fix the phishing rampage is ridiculous. LINK TO THE DANGEROUS IO PAGE IS IN SCREENSHOT ON TWITTER POST!
