tl;dr: popular inactive scratchers are being hacked by some creep DO NOT INTERACT WITH ANY LINKS POSTED BY THESE ACCOUNTS !! BIG TW AS WELL more info below... Happy monday!! i just wanted to talk about this because its really creeping me out: [edit: **3] popular scratchers who havent been active for years have allegedly gotten hacked??? and whoever is doing it has put sIurs and weird profile pictures as their accounts??? i'm really confused folks TeacupTrinkets, AnaniAnime & Niubun's accounts are the "scene of the crime", they're very popular OG Scratchers and i HIGHLY doubt they are ever going to be active again But oddly enough ~1 hour ago both accounts were active. AND someone put a sIur and weird/triggering profile pictures on their bios the accounts are utterly corrupted. Theres a hom*phobic slur in one profile picture, and really nasty fanart in the other and both bios include the n-word... as well as awful imagery. ON SCRATCH. so tw to anyone who looks into this rn. the hacked accounts are also actively sharing creepy imagery (huge tw, its weird man) This activity is an act which doesnt seem probable for the account owners to EVER do themselves. So im like 99.9% sure hacking has happened here And a while back the ST member ipzy also shared a project out of the blue, which seemed a bit odd-- only to find out that on their WIWO they recently address that they recently got hacked themself too. Which explains the recent, sudden activity. I started looking into this and theres a pattern of this alleged person who has messed with the former two accounts putting the term "o96o" in the bios. .... and that term is apparently that of a famous r[]blox hacker??? just assume that whoever is doing this cannot be trusted. i hope the accounts of niubun and teacuptrinkets get fixed soon, but until then if you happen to go onto their profiles: do NOT interact with anything the included in their bios (that includes links. they look very suspicious rn. dont risk anything) Again, assume that any recent activity is NOT the work of the Scratchers themselves, its heavily implied that Niubun and TeacupTrinkets have been hacked. the really concerning thing about this is that the accoutns getting hacked-- while inactive-- are POPULAR scratchers. so kids getting excited that an old scratcher is finally being active again are only going to come to find creepy and triggering imagery on their profiles. My biggest question is if these accounts can even be reverted back? Most of these users are nostalgic for me and prominent members of the veteran scratch community. But what if the recent activity cannot be reverted? AND ALSO what if, because the accounts are showcasing inappropriate things, they get banned by people who report such activity? its just a mess hhh if anyone has any more info on the whole matter lmk because i want answers SHHDSHDS but yeah...
