Axie Infinity on Wednesday said the MEE6 bot on its main server was hacked. The team said the hackers used the MEE6 bot to add permissions to a fake Jiho account, making fake announcements about a mint. MEE6 is a Discord bot that allows admins to automatically give and remove roles and send messages.
Many projects having the MEE6 bot installed on their servers faced similar issues. RTFKT, PROOF/Moonbirds, PXN, Memeland, Cool Cats among others reported their admin accounts compromised.
MEE6 Discord Bot Compromised
Axie Infinity claims the announcements showing a special mint have been deleted. However, some users may still see the message and require restarting their Discord. The Axie Infinity team also stated:
“We have removed the Mee6 bot from the server and will never do a surprise mint.”
The team will continue to provide updates on the incident to its users on Twitter, Discord, Substack, and Facebook simultaneously.
