Security News > 2023 > August > Discord starts notifying users affected by March data breach
Starting on Monday, Discord has been reaching out to users affected by a data breach disclosed earlier this year to let them know what Personal Identifying Information was exposed in the incident.
The breach stemmed from a security breach at a third-party service provider detected on March 29, involving the compromise of an account belonging to a customer support agent.
"On June 13, 2023, Discord completed the review of the support tickets involved and determined that one or more of those support tickets contained the personal information of one Maine resident including the individual's name and driver's license or state identification card number," the Discord Privacy Team says in letters mailed to impacted users.
Sensitive data compromised in the breach includes Discord.io members' usernames, email addresses, billing addresses, salted and hashed passwords, and their respective Discord IDs.
