No changes today, but I'd like to tell you about a new scam attempt I just encountered so you don't fall for it either.

This takes place via Discord but is targeting Hypixel players. The idea is that some weirdo will play a game or two on Hypixel before asking you to join a voice call in Discord, but the end goal is really to get you into their suspicious Discord server with a verification bot. The "verification" bot will prompt you for your Minecraft username and email, and you will receive a code from Microsoft if you enter in valid information.

But beware! These numbers are very dangerous! The scammer is simply going to paste the email address into the "forgot password" form in hopes that you unknowingly give them the password reset code! You're "verifying" nothing more than your gulibility!

So, the key takeaway is STRANGER DANGER! And don't give out your email address.

Stay safe!

I'm honestly very surprised (but happy) to see so much usage with the stats lookup tool! I haven't been part of Hypixel for a long while, but I'm thrilled to continue providing assistance with online security to those curious. Here's what's new this time around:

• The feedback form should now let you submit very short text. This change was made because I've so far received zero feedback submissions :) and I take that as a compliment
• Fixed the text validation logic only applying to "next" and not the summary mode
• Hypixel's new API key system should mean that the website won't break overnight every three months, but if it does, just yell loud enough that I can hear you from my nuclear bunker.
• There is now a blocklist for baddies, opt-outs, and other purposes that may arise, but the best way to block stat checkers is through your in-game settings.

I'll be headed back to my nuclear bunker now. ( ˙꒳​˙ )

A complete UI overhaul has been long since overdue. Here's what changed, minus whatever I forgot to list:

• Everything looks significantly better
• Moved security tips to a dedicated page, adding more content and some site-specific information
• Added a changelog and the ability to submit feedback
• Result messages have been changed to be more useful, and the broken Mojang account password article link was replaced with the Microsoft one.
• Being hacked is now way less scary and should no longer induce mortal terror
• Behind-the-scenes improvements

More awaits! Thank you for using my website.
