[Ziadgaming8]

So i have a bot and hosting here today i got a messgae from him saying that he has my token and all of my repls and stock all what i have is his discord username and he is stealing more servers and he is using a code that all information that i have.

You should do the following things:

1. Invalidate all tokens that could have been stolen (not exactly sure how Discord bots work but I’d think a password reset would do it).
2. In the future, store all private information in Secrets so that naughty users can’t steal it.

@Ziadgaming8

he has my token and all of my repls and stock

• Since you have a free Replit account, all your repls are public. Do you mean he gained access to your Replit account? Change your password immediately.
• What do you mean by “stock”?

Remember that ALL repls you create are public to the ENTIRE internet, even people without Replit accounts. You can change this by purchasing the Replit Core then making your repls private one by one. Secrets are a free way to store information without using private repls.

Invalidate all tokens that could have been stolen (not exactly sure how Discord bots work but I’d think a password reset would do it).

IIRC there’s a button in the Dev portal to reset the token.

He alr stole everything

[CoderShayan]

Yes, but you could reset it which would make their key useless.

I had gen bot so he took every accoybt u had

[anon40284853]

Can you please explain what you mean? Why can’t you invalidate the token? Did you lose access to your account? What is a “gen” bot?

[Ziadgaming8]

I stopped the token but i was hosting a bot that gen accounts and he stole it and i had alot of slef nade projects and he got it with a simple code

[anon40284853]

Repls are public unless you get a paid plan and set them to private. Also repls are created under the MIT liscense which means anyone can steal your public code and do whatever they want with it without giving you credit. Replit encourages remixing code which is why all public repls have a “fork” button.

See this topic for more information on the subject:

Hi, I’m happy to offer some clarification here. As others have mentioned above, the MIT license is automatically applied to public Repls, and this is a very permissive open source license which allows others to fork and remix.

Q: How can I stop someone from forking my code?

A: The best solution is to make your Repl private. A private Repl can be licensed under any license that you wish, and the best way to indicate that is to include a license file with the code. If you don’t include a license file in your private Repl, then by default you are retaining all rights and copying is not allowed at all. If someone forks a private Repl and makes it public in violation of its license, you can report this and we will delete the public fork.

Q: What license should I choose in order to ensure that my code retains its attribution and isn’t relicensed under MIT?

A: There are a lot of options here. The two main options are proprietary or open source. A proprietary license generally prohibits copying at all. An open source license generally allows copying, but may include conditions such as retaining attribution and keeping forks under the same license. We can’t recommend a specific open source license because there are so many, but you can check out some options at Licenses – Open Source Initiative .

Q: What if private code, or code that is already licensed under a more restrictive license, (eg. GPL) is uploaded to Replit?

A: If you wrote that code, then you are its owner, so by uploading it to Replit you are dual-licensing it so that it is available under the MIT license also. If you did not write the code, then most likely you are not its owner, and you could be infringing copyright by uploading it under the MIT license. The copyright owner could then send Replit a DMCA notice, and we would take the code down.

Q: Is there any other way to get my code taken down?

A: If a public Repl doesn’t otherwise violate Replit’s Terms of Service, we won’t delete it or warn a user for forking it. However, if they remove your attribution from your original code and present it as their own, this amounts to plagiarism and we will unpublish it from Community at your request. The code will still be available on the user’s account, but it won’t be able to trend.

If you have any more questions, please follow up and I’ll be happy to try to answer. I hope this helps!

Hi @Ziadgaming8!

If there is a way to report this user, you should. You did mention that you had this person’s Discord, could you report it? I am not sure if that is possible, but I just wanted to ask.

@Ziadgaming8

i was hosting a bot that gen accounts

What do you mean by “gen accounts”?

[QwertyQwerty88]

maybe “gen” is short for “generate”? like automatically creating accounts with code? Idk

[Sky]

Ziad is discussing a Discord bot that searches through a stock and “generates” an account. For example, if the stock is full of Disney accounts, it will return a random Disney account. I’m not entirely sure, but this seems to be my best guess and perhaps the only logical assumption. However, I believe this violates TOS so.
