Discord confirmed a data breach after hackers compromised one of its customer support providers, exposing sensitive user information.
What Data Was Compromised?
The attack granted unauthorized access to:
- Real names
- Email addresses
- IP addresses
- Limited payment details (payment method and last four card digits)
What Remains Safe?
Good news: Server conversations and direct messages were not affected and remain protected.
Discord’s Response
The platform has taken immediate action:
- Terminated access for the unnamed third-party vendor to its ticketing system
