Discord’s latest data breach

The cyberattack reportedly took place on September 20, 2025. This was the date when hackers gained access to the internal data of Discord via one of its third-party vendors. Discord, while addressing the data breach, has confirmed that the passwords and authentication data of the users are safe. The breach has not affected the platform’s main servers or the infrastructure.

As per the statement made by Discord, the attackers accessed data linked to users who had interacted with the customer support or Trust & Safety items. The exposed data includes names, email addresses, usernames, billing info (last four digits of the card), and IP addresses. Some users’ government-issued ID details and customer support chats are also exposed.
