According to IT Home, social media platform Discord announced that its third-party customer service provider was hacked, resulting in the theft of some customer information which was then used to extort Discord. The cyber security incident affected some Discord users who had been in contact with the customer support team or trust and safety team, involving chat records, real names, usernames, email addresses, IP addresses, transaction history, payment information, last four digits of credit cards, and a small amount of identity documents for age verification. Discord immediately revoked the third party's access to the Discord ticketing system upon discovery of the breach. Preliminary analysis indicates that the unauthorized third party behind the attack did not have direct access to Discord.
