- Discord undergoes a violation of ransomware via a third -party support supplier, exhibiting data limited to users and companies
- Stolen data include names, emails, billing information, IPS and government identifiers; Passwords have remained secure
- Affected users will be contacted by e-mail; The internal investigation and the notification of the police are underway
Discord warned users that he had undergone a cyber attack that caused a potentially disturbing data violation.
In a data violation notification announcement published on the company’s blog, Discord said that a third party, providing customer support services, has been raped.
“The unauthorized part then had access to information from a limited number of users who had contacted Discord through our customer support and / or confidence and security teams,” said Discord.
Secure payment data
The identity of the attackers has not been disclosed, but Bleeping Compompute reports that it was a ransomware attack and that the threat actors asked for a payment in exchange for stolen files.
They managed to obtain people’s names, Discord user names, emails and other contact details that customers provided Discord customer support. In addition, limited billing information (last four credit card figures, purchasing history), as well as IP addresses, was also consulted, as well as messages were exchanged with customer service agents.
Pirates have also taken limited corporate data (training equipment, internal presentations) and a “small number” of identity cards issued by the government.
“If your identifier may have been accessible, this will be specified in the email you receive,” added Discord in the ad, noting that the violation occurred on September 20, 2025
Payment data should be fine, because the company said it that complete credit card numbers, as well as CVV codes, were not accessible. Messages or any other discord activity – beyond what has been shared with customer support – was also left intact. Passwords and other authentication data were not compromised either.
“We are in the process of contacting affected users. If you have been hit, you will receive an e-mail from [email protected],” concluded the company. “We will not contact you about this incident by phone – Official Communication Channels Discord are limited to [email protected] emails.”
An internal survey has already been launched and a third -party legal medicine expert is committed. The police were also informed.
