semi-related, people need to stop treating scam victims as if they're stupid. scams are growing increasingly believable, and victims aren't always in the right headspace to be extra vigilant. we need more polite warnings like this, not condescending, high-and-mighty scolding.

Welp, glad it’s patented so this isn’t going to be ubiquitous. Also did the USPTO learn nothing from the loading screen mini game patent?!?

Dexerto@Dexerto

Sony has patented a feature that uses AI to show players short-form content while waiting for their game to load The videos could include content like gameplay highlights, social media clips, AI-generated match analysis and ads

@DoodleHetch Filtering all DMs for spam and turning off these settings under Content & Social *should* mitigate most of this. Still the risk though of the spam filter missing messages from hacked mutuals

This doesn't guarantee you won't ever receive spam or malicious messages, but it does help prevent it. The only caveat is disabling friend requests does mean you must initiate all future requests, so adjust as necessary if that is a hindrance to how you utilize Discord

A few ways to help mitigate this! Go to Settings > Content & Social in Discord and make sure ALL DMs are filtered to spam and toggle the rest of the below options off:

Alternatively, to prevent accidental profile reveals you can go to Profile > Settings and privacy > Privacy > Suggest your account to others > and disable the "People who open or send links to you" setting. This does not prevent the tracking though, data is still collected. (3/3)

TikTok bakes in the tracking link every time you try to share something. This requires an extra step to remove the tracking which I have outlined here! This way you don't accidentally reveal a personal profile when sharing content. (2/3)

ALWAYS remove tracking before sharing any content! Not only because of data collection, but also so you don't accidentally dox yourself. Sites like Instagram will SHOW the profile of whoever shared when the link with tracking is clicked. With TikTok it's even sneakier! (1/3)

In a really funny coincidence, the FBI Director's "merch website" is currently compromised by this very type of attack LOL💀

PSA: ClickFix attacks are REAL and WILL try to trick you. If a website or program ever asks you to open Powershell as admin or Run with Win+R, do NOT do it. The "Verification Code" is actually a malicious script which will immediately download malware to your computer. Examples:
