Discord reports that data breach from earlier this year affected 180 users

Discord reports that data from 180 users was stolen in the data breach earlier this year. The chat platform has started informing those affected by email.

That appears from a document filed with the Attorney General of the US state of Maine, it writes BleepingComputer. The data breach took place in March this year and was recognized a few months later. A malicious hacker managed to access the customer data of 180 users via the account of a third-party service employee. Presumably, only data from users who created a service ticket was captured. This incident has nothing to do with a large-scale data breach at the non-Discord-affiliated invitation service Discord.io earlier this month. The data of approximately 760,000 users was stolen.
