This article is about how hackers can get into your discord conversations and gain access to your personal details. This would result in the hacker being able to more easily identify people, including you, and not have to guess their usernames.

# Introduction for a blog post about how hackers can get into your discord conversations and gain access to your personal details

I'm writing a blog post on the recent "discord hacking" threat which I think would be of interest for many readers who use or intend to use discord as an app or software platform. If you are interested, you can find the above link to my blog post in the [metadata] below:

# A link if you're interested about what is determined by hackers to be "discord hacking" or "discord screenhacking"

The official definition of discord hacking from wikipedia: "Discord hacks are defined as a type of abuse where users use computer code or scripts to do things that would be impossible using a normal client." This includes discord screenhacking when the hacker can gain access.

In short, discord hacking is the act of gaining access to your account by means of malware or tools which were installed on your computer and then used to try and gain access.

 discord hacking can only do damage if it's not detected before the hacker(s) gain access.

Here's how hackers generally execute discord hacking:

-Your IP address is determined (in this case, from your IP you're using on a client such as Discord)

-The IP address is used to find your general area geographically [Google has a tool for this]

-Gaining personal details from that point are easy, as personal details can be easily looked up in various databases

## How hackers gain ip info – programs and malware (the most common way which is used for all of the below listed methods).
