Discord blamed a vendor for its data breach - now the vendor says it was 'not hacked' - DataBreaches.Net
"this incident impacted a limited number of users who had communicated with our Customer Support or Trust & Safety teams,"
"of the accounts impacted globally, we have identified approximately 70,000 users that may have had government-ID photos exposed, which our vendor used to review age-related appeals."
"We are aware of media reports naming 5CA as the cause of a data breach involving one of our clients. Contrary to these reports, we can confirm that none of 5CA's systems were involved, and 5CA has not handled any government-issued IDs for this client. All our platforms and systems remain secure, and client data continues to be protected under strict data protection and security controls."
Discord stated a security incident affected a limited number of users who had contacted its Customer Support or Trust & Safety teams. Discord identified approximately 70,000 accounts globally that may have had government-ID photos exposed; those ID photos were used by a vendor to review age-related appeals. Discord characterized the event as a breach of a third-party service provider, 5CA, rather than a breach of Discord. 5CA issued a statement denying that any of its systems were involved and asserting it did not handle government-issued IDs for that client and that its platforms remain secure. The statements present conflicting accounts about vendor handling of the affected ID photos.
