Discord has revealed a potential data leak affecting approximately 70,000 users, primarily involving official ID photos. The breach occurred not on Discord's platform itself, but through a third-party age verification service. Leaked data may include personal information, partial credit card details, and customer service messages. Discord has contacted affected users, is cooperating with law enforcement, and has revoked the provider's access. The company refutes claims of a larger breach, calling them an extortion attempt.
