Hackers breached Discord through a third-party customer service provider, stealing government ID photos from approximately 70,000 users who submitted them for age verification appeals. The attackers reportedly grabbed 1.5 terabytes of data and are demanding ransom money from Discord. The stolen information includes names, usernames, email addresses, messages to customer support, and limited billing details like the last four digits of credit cards. However, passwords and full payment information weren't compromised. Discord immediately cut off the vendor's access and contacted law enforcement. The company is notifying affected users via email from noreply@discord.com. Some frustrated users report Discord never processed their age appeals before the breach occurred. **Source:** [CNET](https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/discord-security-breach-exposed-government-id-photos-of-70000-users/)
