The Axie Infinity game discord server has been hacked, particularly the MEE6 bot.
Attackers used the bot to add access rights to the account with the nickname Jiho, and later published a fake ad.
Developers were able to remove the hacked MEE6 bot from the main server, as well as delete the spam messages. However, the project’s official Twitter account warned that many users could still see fake messages until they restart their Discord.
For its part, MEE6’s official Discord support channel denied the hacking allegations and said they had checked with their developers and found no unusual activity.
The community believes that the hackers first hacked into the admin accounts and then accessed an alternate admin account using MEE6.
