Next up, Discord's getting a not-so-great cereal upgrade with the RedTiger infostealer. Hackers are living it up like they're at a disguise party, leaving users in a lurch wondering, "Who even am I talking to?"

So, buckle up, it's a hacking rollercoaster and not the fun amusement park kind. Join us, but maybe hold off on that strange phone call.
