Discord: ID photos of 70,000 users may have been exposed via third-party breach

Discord says official ID photos and other data tied to about 70,000 users may have been exposed after a cyber-attack on an external provider used for age verification and customer support. The company, which reports more than 200 million users globally, said on 9 October 2025 that its own platform was not breached and that access for the affected vendor has been revoked.

According to Discord, the leaked information could include personal details, ID images submitted for age checks, partial credit-card data, and messages exchanged with customer support agents. The company added that no full card numbers, account passwords, or messages beyond support conversations were involved. Impacted users have been notified, and the firm says it is cooperating with law-enforcement authorities.

Discord did not name the third-party provider. A representative from Zendesk, which provides customer-service software to Discord, told the BBC its systems were not compromised and that the incident was not caused by a Zendesk vulnerability. Discord also rejected online claims that the breach was larger than stated, calling them inaccurate and “part of an attempt to extort payment,” and clarified that the incident was not a ransomware attack: “We will not reward those responsible for their illegal actions,” a spokesperson said.

The incident underscores why attackers target high-value personal data—such as full names and government-issued identifiers—that tend to remain constant over time and are useful in scams. Discord has tightened age-verification practices in recent years amid concerns about the distribution of prohibited content on some servers and says it continues to invest in safety and verification controls.

Updated Community Guidelines: Clearer Guidance for Real Streaming Situations

We’ve updated the Community Guidelines to make them clearer, more transparent, and easier to use in everyday streaming situations.

We know it isn’t always easy to understand how a rule applies to a specific moment on camera. The updated Guidelines include clearer explanations and brand-new enforcement notes for relevant policy areas. These notes answer questions we hear most often.

Alongside these practical explanations, the update highlights a key principle behind moderation: context matters. We review the whole situation rather than isolated words, objects, or moments in a broadcast. A single unverified report does not trigger enforcement on its own.

Read the updated Community Guidelines to get a better sense of the platform’s boundaries and what to expect from moderation.

We’ve updated the Guidelines with your experience in mind. Tell us what you think in the community Discord and follow us on Telegram for quick platform news.
