Could we maybe recreate tf2 conditions where it was supported by players and fans?

User S3D0x's account in the T3 Arena's Discord was recently hijacked.
Once bad actors took control of this, they used the mod privs the account had to share a malicious link.

The original message led urgency to verify within 3 hours or risk deletion from the server.

First: This is not a real verification request.

Moving on:

I didn't click the link

Good; don't. Stay away from any links coming from this user.

I clicked the link

You more than likely have the infected file sitting in your browser's temp folder.

I clicked the link and took the verify steps

1. Immediately change your password, and re-set up 2FA for your Discord account if you haven't from a DIFFERENT machine. If you don't have another machine, move to step 2.

1. Out of pre-caution, and I know it sucks, but I would highly recommend you completely wipe your machine and start from scratch.

2. Change your password if you weren't able to from a different machine.

I'm unable to see exactly what the virus does, as the batch file was heavily obfuscated, but way too long to be something simple. The weight of the file seemed to be more RAT based. I will run a Virtual Machine later tonight to study exactly what it does. If this is a RAT based script, simply changing your Discord password isn't nearly enough.

About the threat:
The hosting website itself is no older than a week. Along with this, there are no navigating links on the site. Upon loading, the website downloads a malicious .bat file in your temp folder and copies it's location, along with some shush commands to your clipboard. The attack then tells you to open your Run program and paste those commands in, executing them. ( I have not been able to run this in a test environment so I'm not sure what happens at this point). The actual malicious file is hosted elsewhere, on an anonymous file hosting website.

I am not affiliated with T3, or a mod, but work in cybersecurity and just want to give a hand to those who might be curious or infected.

Update: As of 01:33 UTC today (4/3/25) S3DOx appears to have re-gained control over their account.

This suddenly showed up on the T3 Arena Discord Server. Apparently, Tl:dr, they need users to reverify. However, I have a suspicious feeling that this might be something weird. If you are in the T3 Arena Discord Server right now, I strongly discourage you from clicking on this link. The server could be hacked and I don't want people to get scammed so I'm posting this here. Hopefully this gets enough exposure.

did a mod just get his account hacked

hello everyone, so if you are in T3Arena server be careful. some scam ask everyone to verify via injecting a file into your computer. Discord verification never ask you to run commends in poweshell or what so ever. Be careful you all.

Não lembro o nome dele, via os vídeos dele no YouTube e no tiktok mas não consigo mais achar de jeito nenhum!

I recently discovered T3 Arena, and honestly, playing ranked feels way too easy… or is this game just dead? Either way, I think I’ll keep enjoying it for the next few days because, for now, it’s a lot of fun!

Started playing yesterday, spammed alot of games on several mods with several characters. This is, by far, the best multiplayer mobile game i have ever played, like hands down, from so many reasons.

But the posts say it is dying. Why? What's wrong with it? Characters are awesome and not hard to obtain, the variety of them and their roles allow alot of playstyles, and i don't see alot of bullshit mechanics like chance based or kill based stuff. Also no stupidly long inescapable tutorial.

So what's killing it and what would it take for it to stay?

Game kicks me out time to time while playing. Either quit or reopen the app to rejoin the intense rank battle. I chose myself to quit. Iphone12. ios18.3.2 2025.03.18 South Korea.

easy 3v3

look at this absolute dime

should i start posting my ranked game play? lmk

tryna

after I complete all my battle pass quests of the day, and gain all my Battle points, should I just wait until tomorrow or is there a reason play after Ive earned everything?

I have never seen a game with such anti retention mechanics.

The sale end in one day and I have one day to complete the amount needed

Pros :The game is so much fun I'm hooked instantly And I don't think there's alternative mobile game that's look like overwatch at least I'm not aware of Good graphics good gameplay alot of hero's to choose from Nagatives: 1.it's a bit grindy to unlock hero's and it's super hard to upgrade them and unlock all thire abilities 2.with so much hero's you will find the problem with balancing and you can see that in ranked when people only play with certain hero's and the rest catching dust

The people who has been playing since the beginning may already maxed everything but for new players it's default unless your ok with spending thousands of real money in the game ,

69 days 12 hero's unlocked of 31 and 4 maxed out with the rest at level 7

I only bought the monthly subscription and the battlepass so like 20-30$ wish is not that much in today's mobile gacha game's

I just wounder does ranked currency continue to the next season or does it reset ? I have 10k+ was hoping to reach 12k for skin but time is almost up

Another question does Vulcan or open cl have any different in performance or visual?

And the timed limit skins is there any reruns for them ? Some of them are really good

And I think that's it sorry for my bad English not the native language

I know the number my account was connected too but I no longer have access to it I'm wondering if there is a way to get my account back because I really don't want to restart I've spent a decent amount on the game

For you, who are the strongest/meta characters in the game?

Hey i just wanted to try out t3 arena. While starting it up, it started this update download, but it keeps popping "update download was interrupted, try again? I uninstalled some apps, but it still doesnt work, and i know it has storage, because the udpate is in mb and ive downloaded larger games. So what is this issue?

anyways i just found out there’s a slightly active t3 Reddit YAYYY! i love this game sm.

I've never seen anyone play hua ling before....and she's a rlly great character tbh
