Hah. Is this true? I find it funny since IRC has/had this reputation for being a means of communication with malware and it's often blocked on this grounds.

Nice to know that malware is going on with the times and is using Discord for that now.

Discord is great as command and control server because the malware author doesn't need to expose their ip address or implement a complex web of proxy to secure their C&C server.

Couldn't you use someone else's IRC server, the same way you use Discord's server?

[neurostimulant]

I suppose you could, but have you seen how popular new opensource projets being run these days? Young devs really loves discord to the point of hosting documentations there. I imagine young malware authors are no different.

Which, I don’t know if I’m getting old, but man that frustrates me. It’s a terrible platform for documentation. It’s barely a good text chat platform.

You are, yes and yes.
