“Attackers, Trellix wrote, use the platform’s webhooks to pull data from victims’ computers and drop it into Discord channels run by the attackers.”
I wonder if McAfee changing their name to Trellix to escape how much the general public hates them will work better than Comcast rebranding as Xfinity.
probably about as well as Twitter becoming “X, formerly known as Twitter”
Yeah let’s keep that going here. From here on our whenever I see Trelix I will say “Trelix, the brand fomally known as McAfee.”
lol@ this. My bet what is actually happening: cost cutting or future nitro feature.

It’s an annoying change for anyone using discord to share files outside of it’s closed platform but doesn’t affect most people.
I wonder whether bridges for matrix have to be fixed or if they’re already editing messages bridged to matrix to the new url.
Depends on how it’s implemented. Anyone using a “media proxy” will see their discord bridged media probably fail to load (outside of possible caches) after a day. Anyone who has their bridge configured to reupload discord media to their homeserver should see no change.
What is this bridge you speak of? I’m intrigued. Does matrix have a functionality that lets you run a mirror of a discord channel?
Yes, but you have to selfhost your own instance. Big servers don’t have that, and the ones that have probably require payment.
Yes exactly. The bridge logs into the discord server as a user. Then it mirrors all chats from your user in matrix to the discord.
Oh matrix, every user on the connected server gets a user whose name is their snowflake. Those virtual users post into the matrix server whatever their respective discord users posts.
Honestly, I’m okay with this at least until they fix the fact that all shared files are accessible without authentication. Granted, you still had to get the link before downloading an uploaded file, but the fact that there was no authentication required to download a file uploaded to Discord was pretty surprising.
