If you wallet was impacted by the hack and you lost HONEY tokens, please provide details here... docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

A few more updates. 1. We hate seeing people impacted by the Discord hack. The hacker took advantage of some good people in our community. 2. We said yesterday that the hacker never got access to an admin or super admin account. No admin or super-admin account was compromised. This hack gave them access to the announcements channel, where they then impersonated an admin but they themselves did not have the full admin or super admin privileges. 3. The hack asked users to authenticate their wallet on typosquatted URL that to retrieve their scam Airdrop and then proceeded to drain their wallets. 3. The hack occurred in the middle of the night for us in the United States so we were sleeping, but some of the mods (on different time zones) and auto-mods were actively fighting this hacker. We want to thank the many folks who worked hard to fight back against this hacker. Once the team in the US woke up, we took further measures to address the issue. 4. The unfortunate part of crypto culture is that the Airdrop scam is far too common. We know we have warned folks before but we will do it again, when you hear airdrop please run the other way. Additionally, you will never need to sign a transaction to receive Hivemapper rewards. If you are ever asked to sign a transaction by an entity claiming to be Hivemapper, it is a scam. Do not engage at all, and please alert others. 5. We have filed a report with the FBI, using the IC3 process. We truly appreciate the community's work to alert others about this hacker and the work they did to fight the hacker. And we are very sorry about the impact to some members of the community.

@Hungwarrior44 We are working through this and want to do it methodically.

@Hivemapper No thanks…not until I am unbanned in discord.

Upgrading to the Bee from an earlier generation camera? This is an excellent deep dive into the Bee. Enjoy and thanks to Handyman Savage for an excellent review. youtube.com/watch?v=ti-Kzr…

We absolutely are crushed that this happened to some good folks in the community, and I know many moderators were actively working to fight back against this hacker. Just one important thing. This is not a new guideline/rule. When you join our server, we link you to our Rules and Guidelines which include this and this has been the case for many years now. Additionally, the Rules and Guidelines channel is persistent.

@aseidman Admins are covering with by laws they have put up.. my its time to put our mappers to sleep guys !!!!!!!!!! Unless we get compensation .. remember we run the data refresh..

We feel absolutely horrible for the people who were impacted by this. I hate seeing this for anybody but especially folks within this community. Yesterday was rather busy. So, I want to address a few things today. We said it was not an admin or super admin account. No admin or super-admin account was compromised. This hack gave them access to the announcements channel, where they then impersonated an admin but they themselves were not an admin. The hack occurred in the middle of the night for us in the United States so we were sleeping, but some of the mods (on different time zones) and auto-mods were actively fighting this. Once we woke up, we took further measures. I absolutely hate this about crypto culture but the reality of crypto is such that we have had to warn people about these exact scams. In fact, when you join the server the rules/guidelines remind you... Anyone pretending to be a Hivemapper employee with an enticing scheme is a scam. If it’s too good to be true, it probably is. You will never need to sign a transaction to receive Hivemapper rewards. Genuine rewards from Hivemapper are always dropped directly into your wallet. If you are ever asked to sign a transaction by an entity claiming to be Hivemapper, it is a scam. We appreciate the community stepping up and warning others about this 💪 🙏. Finally, we were very busy yesterday and so if I replied rudely. I want to apologize for that.

A few safety reminders worth keeping in mind: 1. Airdrop promos are the crypto version of the Nigerian prince email. They're are basically scams. If you see one, do yourself a favor do not engage with it. 2. Our official domain is hivemapper.com. Any link pointing to a different variation or extension is not us. 3. Watch for common red flags - misspelled domain names, unfamiliar URLs, users who recently joined a community, or offers that sound too good to be true. 4. Mapping rewards are deposited directly into your wallet automatically. You never need to "claim" them. Anyone asking you to authenticate your wallet to claim tokens from us is running a scam. When in doubt, verify with others.

@Hivemapper So don't believe anything coming out of the official discord? Because most people will see an official announcement and assume it is coming from a trusted source.

The "claim free tokens" airdrop scam is so widespread at this point that it's safe to assume it's a scam - every time, regardless of who's sharing it. If the link points to an unfamiliar URL, that only confirms it. The moment you see "authenticate your wallet to claim free airdrop tokens," that's your cue to close the tab/app and move on. No exceptions.

@Hivemapper At this point the Hivemapper discord has a major problem. Security is non-existent, and no one can believe anything coming out on official channels. So you are telling us the fix is to treat everything coming out of the official channels as malicious links?

Feel free to leave the screenshots up - they actually do a good job of illustrating the impersonation attempt. If you look closely, the fake account is ".ariel.seidman" with a join date of May 12, 2026. The roles shown were crafted to look like "Admin" and "Super Admin" but were purely cosmetic - they carried none of the actual privileges of those roles.

@Hivemapper Just going to leave this in every post so as many people see it as possible

Update #3. A former moderator's account was used to impersonate two members of the community and post a scam in an announcement channel. They never had access / control over these admin accounts. Whether that former moderator did it themselves or their account was compromised we don't know. We are further restricting access to various privileges across the board, amongst other changes we made. We will slowly open it up the Discord again over the next few days.

@howdyhooter Yes, we will do this. Sorry about that.

@Hivemapper will you be unbanning people who were banned by the bad actors? i only called them out on what they were doing then i got banned.

A quick update. We've identified the person behind this. They used their own accounts to impersonate community members but never gained access to any official accounts. Out of an abundance of caution, we have: 1. Further restricted privileges across the server. 2. We have removed all integrations/bots. We will continue to perform a complete security review and will provide updates without compromising our investigation.

The domain in the post was so clearly not Hivemapper 1) It mis-spelled Hivemapper 2) It did not use our actual domain extension Furthermore, we don't do and have never done Airdrops that you have to claim like this. There were plenty of signals that this was fake because people were reaching out to us telling us it was fake.

@Hivemapper Not true at all. It was posted on the Official Announcements page. The hacker then kicked people off the Discord server who posted about the hack. To be clear, your official discord was hacked, and many of us were banned from the server.

A fake account impersonating a community member posted a scam link in a Discord channel. To be clear — no accounts were compromised. This was a lookalike account, not a breach. If you interacted with the link, we sincerely apologize. Your trust in this community matters to us. There were signs this was a scam. → The fake account name contained exaggerated language not used by real team members → The link misspelled Hivemapper and pointed to a domain not associated with Hivemapper As a general rule, the vast vast majority of airdrops are total scams. Thank you for your patience. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.

@MondoARG Is this not working for you? discord.gg/srug9xNE

@Hivemapper Can anyone get on the Hivemapper discord? It seems like they deleted the server. HM got hacked. Now own up to it.

The coverage map refreshes in most areas once every 24 hours.

To be clear, you are still rewarded for roads that have sufficient coverage. This map is helping guide you to where the network wants to urgently refresh roads.

New coverage map is live in the app and at hivemapper.com/coverage Green = cover ASAP Orange = needs coverage Teal = good for now Find the green and orange roads. Drive them. Help refresh the map where it matters most. To accelerate this, the Hivemapper Foundation is adding at least 10M HONEY in incentives for green and orange roads between now and June 30, 2026. More details soon.
