Toasty Bot Compromised — Update from Zellonia
Résumé
In Zellonia we announce that the Toasty bot and the main account were compromised and used to send fake automated messages. The team has contacted Discord support and launched a new secure Toasty bot, but its unverified status limits additions so usage is confined to Toasty HQ. This update explains the situation and how the community can continue using Toasty features.
Hey everyone, I hope you all are hanging in there. As many of you know by now, my main account (i am toast#1213) was compromised. The hacker used Toasty to spread a fake automated Discord message to attempt to hack people's accounts. This is obviously very sad for me as I've been working on Toasty for around 6 years now, and we're unsure of wether or not we will be able to get Toasty back.
I've been in contact with Discord for weeks now trying to get my account back, but as many of you probably know, their support team is pretty slow, so it's sort of just a waiting game for now.
On a brighter note, Toasty HQ has remained in-tact, which I'm quite grateful for. The community around Toasty means a lot to me, and I hope I can maintain it through these tough times. For the meantime, I've created a new application of Toasty ( @Toasty ) on this account (one that I can insure will remain uncompromised). You guys can continue to catch pokemon, play music, or whatever else it is you love using Toasty for. For now, however, bot usage has to remain within Toasty HQ due to the fact that the bot is unverified and can only be added to up to 100 servers. Please spread the news to your friends that aren't in Toasty HQ.
Let's keep our hopes high and stick together, we will get through this.
