The platform says hackers targeted a firm that helped to verify the ages of its users.

We told you this would happen. We told you this would be the result of “age verification”. As usual, you fucking didn’t listen.
I hope Discord is sued into receivership over this.
Nothing came of this.
Or ever will.
Something tells me they will not face any consequences.
that’s just a feeling, right? there’s no prior experience that could trigger that, right? *nudge, nudge. wink, wink.*
Anyway, miraculously i haven’t been hit with the age-wall yet, bur when i do, Discord will lose a user.
Yeah, it’s a shame this didn’t come 1-2 years earlier before discord got its claws in more stuff. Discord really caught on in my corners of the internet in the last 2 years. Before that, it was just my Minecraft pals. Even creators who freed themselves from the advertising machine by going fan-funded on Patron style sites still use discord to communicate. I hate to see them hit by boycott action against Discord, but if you stand on an archery range, don’t be surprised when you have a bunch of arrows sticking out of your noggin. ¯\(ツ)/¯
I checked and both of my accounts are considered adult apparently, so hopefully they won’t change that in the future for me and that will be the end of that for me.
Discord isn’t the one that got hacked and leaked the info, it’s whatever 3rd party they used.
Discord vetted and chose that vendor. They are liable, and as a corporate person, their corporate charter should be revoked until it has served 70,000 sentences of accessory to identity theft.
Unless we are a nation of cowards and weaklings of course. So who are we?
💯, absolutely agree. 3rd party or not it’s completely irrelevant. That personal info is out in the wild and that is the point.
Who the hell cares?
