Blues Mods
The Dangers of using modified versions of Kik, & Discord apps from unverified sources.
Blues Mods are a pool of modified applications. This includes applications like Discord & Kik. In this article we will go into the dangers of leaving your apps insecure, and why companies are very protective of their applications.
Blue
The person behind the alleged abuse is known as Blue. Their history with development has throughout history been known to be focused around distributing malicious tools, this includes botnets and tools used to send exploitive “hacks”, along with being involved with harassing users on a multitude of platforms.
In the following example, they’ve sent threats to a streamer. The streamer was the #1 most streamed on the platform, which resulted in their account being hacked. After the streamer made a post on Twitter warning on the dangers of using modified apps, they received blackmailing communication in order to take down the post.
There are countless instances like this where users would have their livelihood blackmailed in order for them to gain (something?) out of the situation; but this is barely the peak of the mountain of involvements with attacks & targeted harassment.
Another instance of abuse is blackmailing, spamming, and endangering official streamers. Sending threats like “I have some surprises in store for everyone who attends”.
Or making statements like “Blue Kik cannot be stopped”
Blue Kik
Blue Kik is a modified version of Kik that according to the project “helps” improve the usability of the platform, but what most don’t know is a lot of the reasons the platform is unusable is due to this mod. This mod provides (sells through CashApp and Gumroad) users with exploitative ways to blackmail and harass users. This includes making your accounts unusable and being able to join Kik Live streams after being banned.
It also turns your account (as a user) into a bot. Once installed, your account can be used to forward requests (messages/stanzas) to target users, report groups, hijack groups, steal/sell credentials, and log user information and conversations. After enough dangers; Kik released an article on the dangers of the application:
Kik has banned many of their accounts, but unfortunately they continue to harass and mass create accounts. This has led to them owning and operating 1000s of bots.
To list a few, the following usernames were all previous accounts belonging to attacks conducted by such project’s owner.

Casino is a chat management bot that “protects users” from bots, but once again it comes with a surprise. This bot logged user IDs in 2021 which the project then spoofed into to attack users. This process involved using Blue Kik users to forward a fake message (a message that makes it look like it’s from someone else than the original sender). These “users” that were spoofed, were collected using Casino. This led to over 5,000 users being detected by Kik for spam and terminated.
Aside from this incident, there have been times when the bot was used to log chat messages, promote the developer to admin in your groups for abuse, and sell the information collected through it.
Another instance where they would change an admin’s display name to officiated bots on the platform like “Rage Bot” and then promote himself to admin, to mask it all as an exploit against projects when it was a backdoor to BlueKik and Casino users.
BlueCord
After enough drama from exploiting and blackmailing users on Kik, they decided to go towards Discord. Fortunately, there are a lot of developers on Discord who were able to sniff the suspicious behaviors and botnets being sold by them, which led to the word spreading of a malicious Discord mod being developed & to be avoided. Within his channel, he has attempted to rent/sell access to his botnet, which led to the channel being banned from Discord, and later rebooted.
My Experience
My experience with Blue has been long due to the fact I actively help and protect users in the community & report exploits to the appropriate teams for resolutions. This has led to me and my team being personally blackmailed, exploited, & threatened.
Not long after this threat, they exploited our group chat, hijacked our group picture, and blackmailed our support team for a week straight. Kik was able to patch the high-severity exploits. Which later led to our accounts being spammed using a network of bots. There have also been instances in the past where they would purposely & verbally threaten on video and messages to send illegal content to get groups, users, and projects banned from Kik due to their Microsoft PhotoDNA system periodically sweeping abuse.
Don’t let your information fall into the wrong hands, who use their own user’s information to harass, blackmail, and manipulate users.
Security
Given this snippet of abuse, it is why platforms are very secure and against using modified versions of apps. It is not always about creating a “competitor” towards their application, but the safety of users amongst their platforms. Using modified versions of applications can lead to instances where your information can be used to extort you, or sold. Of course, not all projects have the same intentions as this post; but it is important to study your sources. It is always safest to stay with a company that is liable and responsible for your information, vs. someone who has the off-chance of being unhinged. Your security is important, treat it no different than your SSN.
We hope that with this article we can do what we can to bring light to the alleged abuse, and prevent more users from being taken advantage of.
