Moonray, a free-to-play multiplayer arena combat game, is currently in alpha on the Epic Game Store, with upcoming releases for PlayStation 5 and Xbox. Set in a post-human world, it offers fast-paced, melee combat requiring both strategy and quick reflexes. On January 12th, 2025, the game's Discord server was compromised, leading to multiple airdrop messages. Despite user concerns and security alerts shared on Twitter, it appears that Moonray has yet to address the incident publicly. No details appear to be published on how the Discord was breached, and there is no word on who was affected or any plans for investigation or compensation.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]
