    Does anyone have the full leaked data? Just wondering its data labels, what does it fully contain? Discord and media outlets tell slightly different things about what leaked.

      The data was breached, but it’s not leaked publically as of yet as their asking Discord to pay.

      The threat actors also shared a sample of the stolen user data, which can include a wide variety of information, including email addresses, Discord usernames and IDs, phone numbers, partial payment information, date of birth, multi-factor authentication related information, suspicious activity levels, and other internal information.

    does discord require you to upload your id to make an account these days?? I’m not sure a person could pay me enough to make me use it again

      Only in some US states and countries that passed age verification laws in the name of “children”.

    Do the laws that required them to do the age verification also require them to keep the verification images?
