💬 Discord Confirms 70,000 User IDs Exposed in Breach

Discord has confirmed that around 70,000 users had their government ID photos exposed in a data breach targeting a third-party customer support vendor, as hackers try to extort the platform with threats to release more documents. The messaging platform, which has over 200 million users worldwide, said the breach happened on September 20, 2025, but stressed that Discord's own systems were not directly compromised.​

The breach exposed identity verification documents that users submitted to prove their age, along with names, email addresses, IP addresses, and the last four digits of credit card numbers for those who contacted Discord's support teams. Discord spokesperson Nu Wexler told The Verge that all affected users have been notified and the company is working with law enforcement, data protection authorities, and security experts.
