Interestingly, the overwhelming majority of games available in the Discord Store and Nitro appear to be singleplayer. You’ll find all the new stuff inside the Discord app. Or, if you don’t care about the games but still want access to the chat-based extras, the older version of Nitro is still available as a $5 “Nitro Classic” option. If you subscribed to Nitro before October 10, Discord will bump you up to the game subscription service at no extra cost until January 1, 2020. That’s a pretty compelling lineup for $10 per month, and Discord plans to add more games to the list as time goes on. Most of them are indie or older titles, but you’ll find several damned good ones, including Soma, Wasteland 2: Directors Cut, Limbo, Metro: Last Light Redux, Brutal Legend, Nidhogg, FTL, Darksiders I and II, Super Meat Boy, Galactic Civilizations III, and a whole lot more. Formerly a $5 per month add-on that got you specialized emotes and other chat goodies, the new $10 per month Nitro subscription builds on top of it with all-you-can-play access to a whopping 60 games. Perhaps even more intriguing is Discord’s Nitro subscription. “It’s amazing to watch people forge new friendships while playing and for us to connect with that community in real-time in our official server.” We don’t normally include canned quotes in our coverage, but that one gets to the heart of why developers might consider launching on the Discord Store, so there you go.

Traffic analysis by Malwarebytes shows the true origin of the login page to be an actor controlled server.

In fact it is a constituent of the page itself, the illusion is broken when you try to move the pop up beyond the bounds of the parent chrome tab. Unbeknownst to victims, this 'chrome window' is not a window at all, but rather fancy javascript giving the illusion of a chrome pop up. After loading the hyper realistic phishing page a steam log in window pops up, prompting users to link their steam account in order to redeem their free Nitro. The messages are spread via what appear to be discord bots. The new scam, initially reported on by Malwarebytes sees scammers using the bait of a month of free Nitro to lure Discord users to a phishing page. Steam creds are stolen by use of a highly realistic looking fake sign in window.New discord scam uses the promise of free Nitro to lure victims to phishing page.
