Discord Data Breach – Customers Personal Data and Scanned Photo IDs leaked

1. Quelle surprise, and the government wonder why OSA is so hated.

2. Nonsense country. What a stupid law, it took WEEKS for this to happen.

3. ‘If you’re against your data being leaked/breached you’re on the side of saville’- probably Peter Kyle upon hearing this happened

4. Discords assured that no credit card numbers was leaked so it’s ok. Even if you have your identity stolen.

   The best way to protect yourself at the moment is to not opt into these systems, however when or IF digital ID becomes mandatory I’m concerned more and more of these breaches will happen. We shouldn’t be trusting a third party to verify such sensitive information.

5. This is unlikely to be related to the OSA as much as customer service agents asking for proof of identity.

   Sites like Discord aren’t running homebrew identity verification, they use services that specifically handle this without giving them the uploaded details. They don’t store the uploaded ID because they never have it.
