A TryHackMe helper may offer private shortcuts or send a supposed lab tool. Check the mentor claim before opening files or sharing lab access.

Check the mentor and lab-help request

  1. Compare the exact profile URL and handle with known community references.
  2. Review room activity, rank and badges for context around the claimed role.
  3. Confirm mentor status through the community or support channel being claimed.
  4. Keep VPN credentials and machine access tokens out of unsolicited help messages.
  5. Check mandatory-tool or private-payment requests against official lab guidance.

What to include in a report

  • Profile URL and the help conversation.
  • Official community references and any disputed rank or role claim.
  • Tool destinations and dated credential or payment requests.
