Discord confirmed a data breach impacting ~70K users who submitted government IDs for age verification appeals. Exposed data includes ID photos and IP addresses.

Hackers claim they stole 1.5TB of data — far more than Discord admits. The breach highlights growing concerns over age verification laws, which require platforms to collect sensitive IDs. Critics warn such policies increase risks without guaranteeing safety.

70K users exposed is massive. Platforms must start prioritizing security over new features before trust erodes further.
