Popular communication platform Discord announced that a limited number of users' data was leaked as a result of a hack of a third-party customer service provider. The company argued that the incident did not directly affect Discord's internal systems and that the attackers did not gain access to Discord servers. According to Discord, an unauthorized individual targeted the company's customer support provider and gained access to user data. This data may include names, email addresses, IP addresses, customer support message logs, and limited payment information (e.g., payment type and last four digits of the card). The company announced that after discovering the incident, it revoked the provider's system access, launched an internal investigation, and cooperated with cyber forensic firms and law enforcement.
