Friend of mine got her account stolen 2 days ago because of the discord scam, but the ''game'' also tried to steal her Roblox account for some reason.

not sure if this is a virus or not but better safe than sorry
It is not enough to shut down the Itch pages, they just change the download link on the Discord servers they recruit to. Please coordinate with Discord to get the Discord servers doing this shut down as well. Discord hasn't shut down the server I reported days later while Itch shut down the fake Itch page. Who can I speak to at Itch about this?
We’ve communicated with people ask Discord about the issue and shared as much information as possible. We have made substantial changes to our process around reviewing pages and are actively responding to those who still try to set up scam pages. It’s not clear what changes, if any, Discord has made around the issue.
Thank you for the hard work, leafo and all the staff at Itch! I know this announcement was posted weeks ago, but a good number of us weren't aware of it (I don't have Discord installed and I don't pay for Nitro). 😰
I'll do my best to try to send this to all the other devs at the other server. Thank you for sharing and I hope this blows over soon!

Got one right here for you.
i think what makes this whole situation worse is discord won't do anything about it
as far as i know i know they are upgrading scam link detection but i still think its very wrong of them not to take action.
which if they are helping victims who have been previously hacked, they SHOULD say something about it so people know "hey we're aware of the hackers, we're taking care of it." but they choose not to.

We banned them.
Thanks, do you happen to have the discord username/id? You can send it to https://itch.io/support in private, reply to me with the ticket ID if you sent it in
I'm glad that I didn't run on this Discord issue (or at least, I believe so) . But I got hacked past year too, someone managed to invade both my Instagram and Facebook accounts. I know they had stolen my (old) password. I'm a bit worried about if they managed to stole other passwords of mine and have invaded other accounts than these I mentioned.
On this site I got hacked and they stole my discord, not only that but they stole this itch.io account as well and published the virus from this account. I changed the password back but I'm worried that they might have taken some other information that I'm unaware of. I reset the password for this account and hid the 'game' they uploaded as well as made a support ticket for my discord. Are there any other steps I should take? I reset my PC completely so I don't think they can get anything else. But if there's anything else I need to take care of I would like to know.
Fortunately I haven’t put any personal information in my itch.io account and it’s connected to a spare email so I don’t think they have got anything valuable, they did post a game which I removed. Thanks for the telling me, I was worried about it but it seems like this and discord were the only things they took.
Here's another one https://3dgirls.itch.io . This as an imitation of a game by Killer7 that he's not releasing publicly. He posted on his site that it is a scam. I didn't know it it had been reported to itch or not.
Here's something I found. https://viselalune.itch.io/a-fathers-sins . The game was published by pixelblink. I suspect it is an attempt to load malware, since the file size is larger than the creator's.
