LONDON, 25 OCTOBER - A 'nuke' raid had been launched against the United Kingdom Discord community. The attackers were quickly identified hours after the raid. The raid affected nine servers, including the main United Kingdom server. As a consequence of the raid, thousands of archives, dating back as far as 2016, vanished.
The raid happened at noon, Malaysian time. According to BBC News ROBLOX, the raid has affected nine servers, including the Parliament server, the Metropolitan Police server, and the main United Kingdom Discord server. During the raid, channels were deleted and replaced with #/chewsday-innit. The raid has resulted in the loss of all channels in the main United Kingdom server except for #/rules.
Due to the loss of channels in the United Kingdom Discord server, archives within the server dating back as far as 2016, is effectively wiped from existence. The server's oldest message, which should have dated years ago, is seven months ago.
Within six hours, the United Kingdom community has been able to restore most of community services. Channels, previously deleted, are now available for regular activities within the community.
The motives of the raid remain unknown. However, we identified that it is a coordinated attack, done by more than one person. We identified that a person named "segv3rm" is the executor of this raid. However, when the username is searched, the person is nowhere to be found.
The messages that were spammed pinged @everyone and contained an invite to a server named "Taiwan Hangout", which is presumably the centre of the raid operation against the United Kingdom Discord community. A total of more than 1,000 pings were recorded.
No official reports have confirmed the chronological order of how the raid happened. It is understood that one of the managers of the Discord community, Zoriby, added the wrong 'MEE6' Discord bot, which executed the spamming of messages. segv3rm would then initiate the raid by sending the command for the Discord bot.
This attack is significant as it involves one of the biggest and oldest communities in Ro-Nation. The scale of the destruction left not a visible mark, but an impairing wound.
