Ummmm...

ID photos of 70,000 users may have been leaked, #Discord says

by Osmond Chia, October 9, 2025

"Discord, a messaging platform popular with gamers, says official ID photos of around 70,000 users have potentially been leaked after a #CyberAttack.

"The platform, which has more than 200 million users worldwide, says hackers had targeted a firm that helped to verify the ages of its users but the Discord platform itself was not breached.

"People can provide ID photos to verify their age on Discord - a networking hub for players to chat and share files with others in the gaming community."

Like fucking clockwork.

I hope all my gaming friends leave discord. I can’t see posting on that platform or if I even try I’m never gonna give them any form of identification.

What happens to all the people that use it for communication?

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @DoomsdaysCW make sure to delete your discord account now if you ever had one, before they require ID to delete it
