Hacker Kata Hijacks 250,000-Member Calamity Discord Server for Crypto Scam

On October 9, 2026, the Discord server of the Terraria mod Calamity, with over 250,000 members, was hijacked after its owner was tricked into handing over access by two users posing as former moderators. One of them turned out to be notorious hacker Kata, who has reportedly breached dozens of servers; within an hour the server was spammed with links to a crypto coin that was immediately pumped and dumped. A former moderator wiped the channels and messages, but tens of thousands of users have already left.

• Calamity's Discord had over 250,000 members before the October 9 hijack
• The owner was tricked into granting access by fake former moderators
• Crypto coin links were spammed for an hour before the scam was exposed
• A former moderator wiped the channels, but tens of thousands left
