Massive Hack: 70,000 Discord Users Affected – Is Your Data Safe?
On October 9, 2025, Discord suffered a major security incident that compromised the sensitive information of at least 70,000 users. According to dailyhodl.com, a third-party provider that provides customer service for Discord provides, hacked.
The attackers targeted data from users who were in contact with customer service and the Trust & Safety teams. The aim of the attack was to extort a financial ransom from Discord. The incident raises serious questions about data security and the protection of user information.
Affected data and measures taken by Discord
The data that may have been compromised includes a wide range of sensitive information. This includes:
- Namen, Benutzernamen, E-Mail-Adressen und andere Kontaktdaten der Nutzer
- Zahlungsdetails, wie die letzten vier Ziffern der Kreditkartennummern und Kaufhistorie
- IP-Adressen
- Nachrichten, die zwischen Nutzern und Kundenservice-Mitarbeitern ausgetauscht wurden
- Bilder von Ausweisen
Discord has announced that it will notify affected users via email if their ID may have been affected. In addition, the affected customer service provider's access to the Discord ticket system was revoked to prevent further damage.
Security measures and user reaction
It is important to emphasize that the leaked data does not contain full credit card numbers or CCV codes. In addition, no messages or activities outside of customer service, nor passwords or authentication credentials were disclosed. This detail could offer some reassurance to affected users, but it does not mean that the danger has been completely eliminated.
The community's reaction to this incident remains to be seen. Many users may now be concerned about the security of their data and Discord's information policy. A clear action plan and transparent communication from the company will be crucial to regain user trust.
Cyber hacks and data leaks are on the rise, and the recent Discord incident shows once again how vulnerable online platforms can be. Users should continue to be vigilant and take appropriate measures to protect their personal information.
