Discord suffered a breach via a third-party vendor, exposing gov ID photos of ~70K users who sought age verification support.
Discord confirmed a security breach affecting around 70,000 users whose government ID photos were exposed via a third-party support vendor, not Discord directly.
The company said claims of 2.18 million stolen images were false, though 1.5TB of data was compromised, including names, emails, usernames, partial payment info, and IP addresses.
The breach occurred through the Zendesk system used for age verification appeals, impacting only users who contacted support.
Discord ended ties with the vendor, secured systems, notified users globally, and is working with law enforcement.
It refused to pay extortion demands.
The incident highlights risks of mandatory age verification laws, with privacy experts urging adoption of privacy-preserving methods like zero-knowledge proofs.
