newdiscord.online | Fake Discord site

GhostSlayer

I found a post on the r/discordapp subreddit, it had a link to a fake Discord website which looked pretty similar to the original website, not too similar though. The website is called "newdiscord.online"

I downloaded the file to my PC since on Virtual Machines it just redirected to some random links.

I ran a virus test on it and it seems to be Adware. I'm not taking a further look at the potential virus software since there is no way I could download it with any.run

Do not open the file if you download it on your real pc 😅

GhostSlayer Lets say hypothetically that someone was stupid enough to fall for this because they were in a rush trying to download discord on a new pc they just bought what should they do to delete the stuff?

Sometimes people forget how easy it is to try and impersonate someone, hope no one has fallen for this.

Update: i wrote a support message to Namecheap about the website, AWS is shitty enough so I was not able to create a support request to them 😃 Edit: but I doubt Namecheap won't do anything to the website either.

bakookoo Just did a re-analyze on VirusTotal and a lot more services pick it up now. Suprised you didn't get a prompt warning this could be a virus.

My suggestion would be to reset Windows completely.

Debaucus yeah I don't know why McAfee hasn't picked anything up. It opened up a program called "umbrella Install" from cisco and I looked into removing that but it couldn't be found on my pc. I'm not sure where it actually saved things.
