URGENT - Critical Crafting Discord and Social Media Has Been Compromised
Hey Critical Crew!
Cameron here -
Earlier today, Dillon's discord and Google Accounts were compromised, and his passwords were subsequently changed by the hacker.
Dillon currently has no access to ANYTHING, and is frantically working with the plethora of customer service representatives to try and regain control of his / our accounts.
Q: What does this mean?
A: Honestly we are all trying to figure it out minute by minute. If you get any suspicious DM's from him/us asking you to click a link, DO NOT CLICK IT! We are working on getting our social media accounts back under out control, as well as our Discord community, but until we know for certain, it's best to assume all DM's are the hacker
Q: What does this mean about this month's Patreon release?
A: This month's release was actually finished yesterday morning and was all prepped to launch tomorrow AM. With what's going on, I honestly don't know what to tell you all. We have local back up's of the content, but the Google Account where we normally host the content is currently unavailable to us. As soon as I know more on this, you will all be the first to know.
In the event that you need to get in touch with us, please feel free to email me directly at my personal email account - cameron.deford@icloud.com (Hopefully you can feel confident that the name on the front of every release and my icloud account being the same are proof that I am who I say I am)
This is truly the worst case scenario for us, so if you could send us your good vibes and thoughts it would truly mean a lot. As we've shared before, we are a team of literally four people (and Dillon is the only one of us who relies on this for his livelihood - the rest of us just spend most of our waking hours outside of working our 9-5's slogging away on creating this content each month) and this is a really big obstacle being presented to us. But you all are the ones that we do this for, so we are committed to not letting this break us and still putting out content for you all.
We'll update you as soon as we know more -

I hope everything gets sorted out, but I apparently got booted from the Discord? Was the Discord deleted to help fight against the scammer, or was it a malicious thing or what?
they likely booted you suspecting you might warn others. as of now the discord is essentially dead and they have taken full control of it
...ugh; i had to deal with something similar last year and it was an absolute pain to resolve, but thankfully no worse than an absolute pain since i caught the hack within six hours...i hope dillon's experience is no worse to resolve either!..
Thanks for the heads up. I'll spread word in my associated discos
What a thing to go through. I managed to make a post on the discord about receiving this notice right before it was closed. Threw me off when I couldn't find or enter it. Hope that this gets solved quickly.
Oh my this must be scary, I’m sorry and I hope that all the services’ support staff reach out and can come to a solution for you guys soon!
