Our Discord server has been hacked!
One of our associates was hacked on Discord, and the attacker, impersonating them, convinced Guuii to visit their Itch.io page and download a build for playtesting. Unfortunately, this turned out to be a rootkit, a malicious program designed to steal a user's online identity and login credentials. As a result, Guuii's Discord account is now under the attacker's control. It is crucial that you block and report any message sent by Guuii (Kimochiiii#4335) if you have him in your contacts, as the attacker is using this account to scam more individuals.
The core issue is that our community Discord server has also been compromised, with the attacker gaining complete control and removing admin privileges from everyone except themselves. We are unable to manage the server in any way. We have submitted a support ticket to Discord, but frankly, we cannot afford to wait for a response. Consequently, we have created a new server that will serve as our primary community Discord server moving forward.
We urge everyone to leave the old server and join the new one HERE. If possible, please share this information on the old server to alert others promptly. Although the hacker may ban you for doing so, it is best to leave that server anyway. Since text posts containing keywords like "hack" might be getting auto-deleted quickly, you can share an image instead, like the one attached to this post
You might be concerned about the impact of this incident on the development of Wild Life. Rest assured, game development proceeds according to plan, with most of our developers continuing their work as usual. Our Patreon and other social media platforms appear unaffected since they were not connected to the compromised computer during the attack.
Users on the old Discord server should remain safe as long as they do not download anything or click on any links sent by others - even those who appear trustworthy may not be. Please be extra cautious.
We sincerely apologize for this situation and aim to resolve it as swiftly as possible. We are grateful for your invaluable support of this project and look forward to continuing our service to you in the future.

I really like you guys don't hide in the shadows like everyone else. Alot respect for actually showing yourselves in person.
Trying to join the new server but it says "unable to accept invite"?
how to get the stuff from the new webb site
Hope everything gets sorted right away.
So, this is like the oldest trick in the Discord hacking book; did 2FA not work on the compromised account?
No, the tool the attacker uses completely bypasses 2fa. Its useless if you fall for it this way.
what the hell is the point in hacking a discord channel?
social engineering can go a LONG way.
i still can play mine
Been a lot of Discord hacks going on lately, it seems. Thanks for the update and take care, WL Team.
As long as the game development is still on going, last thing I want to hear is WildLife being shutdown.
Spread the news on our server.
Best of luck getting this sorted guys, awful situation and very hard to prevent :/
You guys are dumb! This game hasn't progressed fast enough and now this!!! Seriously, get your tshi together!
you're not even a patron. You must be the hacker
Happens to the best of us. Glad to see you recognized it quickly.
Whats this Hack season
yeah, well The other major hack season is around november/december (because gifts)
Though it sucks this happens, better to create a new one than loose everything or even more stuff to a hacker.
Any one on here know how to hack? lets find them.
They might have won the war but you have a good head on your shoulder and a community of supporters that love that you do!
Man, first Kuja from the LoK: Rebirth project and now this? :c In-development adult games aren't having the best time right now :/
It's sad to hear this, my heart goes out to you.🤞
Already joined the new one. Don't let stuff like that get you down guys. You are still doing a great job. I've been here since 2019 and I don't regret a day or a dollar I donated.
Hey, how do we know the attacker didn't get access to Patreon too and is now asking people to join their fake server while saying the Patreon and everything else is safe ? 🤔😂
Thats why we also made the statemend video, you can see us in person there talk about the problem and our solution.
Sorry that this happened! 🥺
Good to know
Could you also "reroute" Patreon Discord reward to the new server so new people will not go on the old one?
