Discord Users Warned After Recent Data Breach
Discord users should be cautious following a data breach linked to a third-party customer service provider. The platform confirmed on October 3 that an incident might have affected certain user accounts due to this breach. Discord is currently addressing the issue.
Discord Customer Service Data Breach
The service has transitioned over the years from its gaming-centric origins to become a prominent communication platform. Concerns were also raised earlier this year when malicious links circulated on Discord attempting to extract user information or deliver malware to devices.
Information Compromised
The breach was discovered within a third-party customer service agency that handles Discord’s user support inquiries. The data compromised includes:
- Real names, usernames, email addresses, and other contact information shared during support interactions.
- Limited billing data, such as payment method and partial credit card numbers.
- IP addresses and records of conversations with customer service representatives.
Action Taken by Discord
In response, Discord has revoked the third party’s access to its systems and initiated an internal inquiry. Users possibly affected by the breach will receive notifications directly from Discord to their registered emails, particularly those who had provided their government ID for age verification features introduced earlier in 2025. Users are encouraged to remain vigilant against suspicious messages or interactions involving their accounts.
