Back on October 3, Discord announced that one of its service providers had been the victim of a cyberattack. It seems that at the end of September, an unauthorized person managed to steal personal data.
These include names, usernames, email addresses, IP addresses, messages with customer service agents, and company data, as well as billing history, the last four digits of credit cards, and payment type.
