discussion Security question

From what I understand, Fallen Angel's account was compromised and they were banned from LC as a result. Forgive my ignorance, please. I just want to know if I should avoid links from any of their threads. If you want to help me understand what happened with their account and how that could affect any of the content that could be downloaded, I'd appreciate the info. Thanks.

I won't go into details.

Fallen Angel’s account was indeed compromised, which is why he was banned to prevent the attacker from causing trouble. But the links in the games weren’t affected because the attacker had no idea what LC was to begin with and simply used Fallen Angel’s Discord to try to steal other accounts with links to a “new game” he was developing that was actually just a Trojan. In fact, that’s why Jack caught him and immediately banned him from LC.
If you see Fallen Angel’s game posts appearing again on Lastest Update, it’s because moderators or uploaders are behind them, not the attacker.

Thank you, that's what I was wanting to better understand. I appreciate it!
