A data breach at a third-party customer service provider has exposed the personal data of some Discord users, including names, email addresses, and a small number of scanned government-issued photo IDs.

    Scanned photo IDs. Is Discord one of those that claims they don’t save those? Even if not, what the fuck?

      It’s almost like we told everyone long ago what was going to happen. But we are the paranoid ones.

      It wasn’t Discord itself that got breached it was their service provider. The article does mention age verification data. So possibly k-ID which I’ve found on their support site as the provider for age verification. And what do they say about saving those?

      Discord and k-ID do not permanently store personal identity documents or your video selfies. Images of your identity documents and ID match selfies are deleted directly after your age group is confirmed, and the video selfie used for facial age estimation never leaves your device.
