Minecraft is one of the most successful games today. Since its launch, its gameplay that encourages creativity has conquered millions of players around the world.
Minecraft is a survival and construction game. Its construction tools stand out because they allow you to create entire worlds through simple blocks.
In addition, Minecraft allows you to create your servers with your own rules. One of the most popular servers in Minecraft is Hypixel.
Hypixel is a server that offers Minecraft players many minigames. The server is ideal for those who want to just jump in and play, without much prior preparation.
That said, the Hypixel website and servers were hacked, so they are unavailable. Also, hackers are trying to scam players by requesting fraudulent donations.
Hypixel website and servers hacked
At the time of writing this story, the Hypixel website shows an error message when trying to access it.
The error message in question tells users that the Minecraft Hypixel project was temporarily shutdown due to lack of resources to pay for licenses and servers.
Minecraft ‘Failed to authenticate your connection hypixelservers’
As a consequence of the hack, Minecraft players trying to access Hypixel’s servers are unable to do so.
When Minecraft players try to run the game through the Hypixel servers, they only receive a ‘Failed to authenticate your connection hypixelservers’ error message.
Hypixel hacked website asks for donations, but it is a scam
The error message on the Hypixel website also invites users to make a donation. To do this, they leave cryptocurrency addresses to which they invite to make transfers.
But, you should avoid sending donations to these addresses, as the message is a scam.
Feel free to send any amount of crypto you would like, big donations will have something special in-game we cannot reveal yet.
Requesting donations through cryptocurrency addresses is one of the favorite methods of hackers these days, because cryptotoken transfers are not reversible.
Also, after displaying the error message, the Hypixel website redirects to a video on YouTube, for unknown reasons.
Hypixel team is already aware
The Hypixel team is already aware of the situation and is working to resolve it.
We are aware of the issues currently with the Hypixel website. We are not shutting down, neither is the Hypixel Studios. And we are working to resolve the issues.
