Discord seeks to combat malware with temporary file links

siteadmin November 6, 2023

Discord has implemented a new 24-hour expiration limit for all uploaded links to servers in response to persistent malware attacks. This significant anti-malware measure also includes expiration timestamps and unique signatures valid until link expiration by the end of the year. The move comes after reports of around 10,000 malware operations using Discord CDN URLs to deploy malicious software.
