Discord Customer Service user violation data and scanned photo identifiers

A third -party customer service provider of Discord is at risk through a “unauthorized party”, ” The company says. The unauthorized party was able to reach “information from a limited number of users who contacted the dispute by supporting customers and/or safety and safety teams” and aims to extort a “financial ransom from Discord”. The unauthorized party “was unable to reach the dispute directly.”

Data that can be accessed by penetration includes things like names, users names, emails and the last four numbers of credit card numbers. The unauthorized party also reached a “small number” of government identity forms from “users who resumed determination.” Discord says that full credit card numbers and passwords were not affected by violation.

Discord also says she has canceled the support provider of the Discord Ticket system, has informed data protection authorities, and works with the application of the law, and has reviewed “our threat discovery systems and security controls for third -party support providers.”
