Free Discord Nitro Phishing
Hey all just sharing a phishing attempt I found in hopes that discord might be able to do something about it. Thank you! We had a friend of ours send many people a message saying they could get free discord nitro by following this link (DO NOT VISIT THIS SITE IT IS A PHISHING ATTEMPT) https://discorcl.click/gift092144
SO interesting about this one
It presents itself as a legitimate discord site using much of the assets of the original aside from the big clock in the center:

Clicking on the link asks you to log into steam. Notably, the URL does not change as it normally would when signing into steam to integrate with another website:

Another note about the above, all of the links lead back to a legitimate steam domain, even linking to exactly what you'd expect, i.e...the store, community, about, even the Join Steam button takes you to a new steam account setup page on Steam's actual website.
Signing in (I used a fake account I just made) sends off a legit-looking steam authentication email except its in a different language:

It's spoofed for sure looking at the subject. But its spoofing the actual email noreply@steampowered.com
anyways, typing that verification code into the fake webpage landed me here:

just spinning.
But that account i just set up got a legitimate email from steam detailing that I had just changed my email address (I hadnt) and I now nolonger have access to the steam account.
In short. These phishing attempts are scary.
i think the link was the biggest giveaway here. Its plainly not a discord link.
Now if they were able to obscure it in some way that would be impressive. I think they would get a lot more successful attacks if that were the case. Thankfully markdown links are not a thing on discord. The URL they are using is very close to looking like a discord link.
Thanks for reading!

Forgot to note, we presume that discord account that sent our friends this message was compromised. He was not locked out of his discord account it just sent this phishing message out en masse.
