On Thursday evening, the Discord server of Starknet suffered a hacker attack, which was quickly resolved by the project team, as reported by Social Network X. Malicious links were posted by attackers with the intent of defrauding users. Prompt action by the StarkWare and SNF security teams, as well as wallet partners, allowed to regain control of the server and prevent damage to the community.

Project representatives noted that such methods are often used to steal personal data or funds. They emphasized that no harm was done to users thanks to the coordinated actions of security specialists.

After the incident, the Starknet team updated and improved the security features on the server. Users can now be assured of enhanced security and usability.

Starknet, as an Ethereum-based layer 2 platform, provides powerful tools for decentralized application developers. Its high bandwidth and low fees make it attractive for projects in DeFi and other areas. However, the popularity of such platforms also attracts the attention of attackers, which emphasizes the importance of security.

Recently, attacks on cryptocurrency Discord servers have become more frequent. Attackers use phishing links and fake ads to trick users. These incidents emphasize the need to continuously improve security measures and inform users about possible threats.
