Evidence
In gvg today, when we, AvantHeim, was facing Dispeller*, majority of our guild members started receiving whisper from random strangers. Namely PorMungDie, and then the two in the screenshot.
These whispers crashes our client when we receive it on 1) All chat tab, 2) when opening the whisper tab, and 3) also when we just simply changing our chat tab settings like from Guild Chat to Shout chat. It crashes.
Evidence 1 (from OneL, see the number of our guildmates got DC)
Evidence 2 (from OneL, when opening the whisper tab, for most people it crash. When it didn’t crash, there is also nothing to be seen from the wshiper)
Evidence 3 (from khenzo2, a witness/ spectator on GVG)

Evidence 4 (from sonnnn1)
As seen from the evidences, this crashes more than half of our total guild members during GvG. And when we reconnect to Varena server, Orsha, outside of the gvg location. It still crashes us when we try to open the whisper.
The people who whispered to my guildmates and crashes us are Level 1 and most likely a newly created account separated from their main account to prevent any possible tracing and protected themselves when they execute the whisper crash exploit.
I can provide you a list of our members whose clients are crashed by this whisper exploit upon your request.
Should you require any further details, please let me know.
Thank you.
