Warning! Discord suffers data breach. Here’s whether you were affected

Discord, a popular communication platform, has recently suffered a data breach involving one of its third-party customer service providers. The unauthorized party gained access to information from a limited number of users who had contacted Discord's Customer Support or Trust & Safety teams. The data breach has compromised users' personal information, including names, Discord usernames, emails, contact details, IP addresses, payment history, and the last four digits of credit and debit cards. Additionally, messages sent to Discord's customer service have also been exposed. Discord has taken immediate action, revoking the customer service provider's access to the ticketing system, launching an internal investigation, and engaging a forensics firm and law enforcement. The company will be contacting affected users directly and advising them to be vigilant for any suspicious activities or scam attempts. It's important to note that the data breach did not affect Discord itself, and the company assures that most users' personal data remains safe. However, those who have been impacted should closely monitor their accounts and take appropriate security measures to protect their information.
