Banned from discord server due to lack of security in my account.

I recently got a new laptop, and this morning, I just started configuring Slack, Discord, and other messages apps; unfortunately, I didn’t remember my password for Discord (because I just had the app on my older laptop). And without much attention, I just googled discord QR login, and I used a malicious QR code that sent an NSFT link through my username.

That happened without my acknowledgment, so I just noticed that I had been banned from the Django discord server. I’m so ashamed of this, and first of all, I apologize for my lack of security and care. I have reconfigured my account, changing my password and adding 2nd-factor auth to ensure this never happens again. And secondly, I would want to know how I could be unbanned on the Django server again. My username is samuelkb#5945.

I’m very sorry for the inconvenience.

I’ve unbanned you now. Please take care not to scan any QRs not generated on your own device, it’s a common way to hijack accounts in the future!
