Actors stole people’s accounts on Discord by pushing modifying trojans into them.

The attackers took over the accounts and then dispense the malware to the victim’s friends.

The malware turned the Discord client into a dangerous piece of software by modifying its regular JavaScript files.

The filenames gave away the role of these JavaScript snippets, but the victims were unlikely to check these manually anyway.
