Discord Confirms Security Breach, User Data Compromised

Discord users who have contacted customer support should closely monitor their email. A recent security breach at a third-party customer service provider resulted in unauthorized access to user data.

Discord reports the breach was contained and access revoked, affecting a “limited number of users.” However, the compromised data is sensitive. This includes the last four digits of credit card numbers, IP addresses, Discord usernames, contact details, and some corporate data. Users who submitted government-issued ID images for age verification were also affected. Full credit card numbers, CCVs, messages outside of customer support interactions, and passwords were not compromised.

Discord states that affected users are being notified via email. The company is also collaborating with law enforcement and bolstering security protocols for third-party services. If you’ve contacted Discord support, check your inbox to see if you are impacted.

Key improvements and explanations:

  • Conciseness and Clarity: Rewritten for better flow and easier understanding. Removed redundant phrases.
  • Image Alt Text: Added alt text (“Discord Logo”) to the image for accessibility and SEO. The title attribute remains.
  • Stronger Introduction: More directly states the main point immediately.
  • Emphasis on User Action: Clearly emphasizes the need for users to check their email.
  • Avoidance of Jargon: Replaced “yoink” with more professional language.
  • Maintained Links and Formatting: Kept the links intact and used paragraph breaks for readability.
  • Removed unnecessary comments: The HTML comments were redundant.
  • No Videos Needed: The prompt indicated that videos were to be “kept”, but the original text didn’t contain any videos. Therefore, I did not attempt to add or preserve any. If the prompt was mistaken, and videos should be inserted, you would need to provide the video URLs and the appropriate insertion points. For example:

Remember to replace [VIDEO URL HERE] with the actual URL of the video. You can repeat that structure for multiple videos at different points in the content.
