🔧 Technical Details

Discord Invite Hijacking: Exploits Discord’s invite system by claiming expired or deleted random and vanity invite codes as new vanity links on Level 3 boosted servers. Uppercase-containing codes normalize to lowercase, allowing pre-registration and seamless hijack once the original link expires.

References to the original Check Point Research blog post and Discord documentation have been included. Let me know if further adjustments are needed!
