Discord users, you might want to stay alert! On October 3, Discord revealed that a recent data breach could affect your account. This incident happened through a third-party customer service provider that got hacked, and Discord is on it, taking action to keep users safe.

Over the years, Discord has transformed from just a gaming chat app to a massive hub for social interaction. But things haven’t been smooth—there’s been a rise in malicious links that popped up earlier this summer, designed to steal data and spread malware.

What Happened?

The breach involved one of Discord’s third-party customer service providers, and it leaked some sensitive info. This includes your real name, Discord username, email address, and even some billing details—like the last four digits of your credit card and what you’ve purchased on the platform.

What Data Was Leaked?

• Your real name, Discord username, and email
• Some billing info, like payment type and last four digits of your credit card
• IP addresses
• Messages exchanged with customer service
• Limited corporate data (like training materials)

After the breach, Discord has taken action by cutting off the third-party provider’s access to their systems and starting an internal investigation. Users at risk will get an email from [email protected]. If you’ve provided your government ID for age verification, you might get targeted notifications as well.

This isn’t the first time Discord has been in hot water. In 2025, they introduced a new age verification rule, and not everyone was thrilled about it. With this breach, users may now be more skeptical about how their data is handled. Discord is urged to review its security measures—especially regarding user verification—to keep everyone safe.

Stay safe out there, and keep your eyes peeled for any strange messages or prompts! Your digital safety matters.
