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globally, said on 9 October 2025 that its own platform was not breached and that access for the affected vendor has been revoked.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.
Streamate will hold a special bonus week from Nov. 8 through Nov. 14, based on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). All performers are eligible to earn a reward during the event.
There is no minimum streaming-time requirement. Performers must generate at least $250 in eligible earnings during the week to receive a bonus. The bonus percentage increases as eligible earnings reach higher levels.
Bonus Levels
The event’s earnings thresholds and matching bonuses are:
$250 in eligible earnings: 10% match
$500 in eligible earnings: 15% match
$1,000 in eligible earnings: 20% match
$2,500 in eligible earnings: 25% match
$5,000 in eligible earnings: 30% match
$7,500 in eligible earnings: 40% match
$10,000 in eligible earnings: 50% match
The percentage is applied to all eligible earnings made during the event. For example, a performer who reaches $1,500 in eligible earnings qualifies for the 20% level and would receive an additional $300.
What Counts Toward the Ranking
Rankings are determined by the amount members spend on a performer during the event. Media sales, subscription charges, and Cammodel earnings are excluded and do not count toward the ranking.
Performers should check the event’s GMT schedule against their local time zone when planning when to stream. Streamate identified #smbonus as the event hashtag for performers who choose to discuss their shows on social media.
Verification and Payment
Streamate will verify all rankings after the bonus week ends. Performers found to have fraudulent earnings will be disqualified. Fraud may also result in an account being suspended or closed.
Qualified rewards will be added to performers’ earnings within one week after the contest ends. The bonus will then be paid according to each performer’s regular payment schedule.
Flirt4Free Introduces Versus Battles for Live Model Competitions
Flirt4Free has introduced Versus Battles, a feature that places two models in a live competition while customers support either participant through tips. The model with the highest credit total at the end wins.
How battles work
During a battle, customers choose a side and tip the model they want to support. Every credit contributes to that model’s score.
To continue the competition, each model must earn at least 100 credits during every 10-minute period. Battles may be scheduled for either 30 minutes or one hour.
Visibility and engagement
Participating models receive the first spot on the page during a Versus Battle. The format gives regular customers and other fans a direct way to rally behind a model and support them with tips.
Feature limits
Private Shows are not available while a Versus Battle is in progress. The same rules used in Party Chat apply during the competition.
Wheel and Tip Actions are also unavailable during a battle. Models should account for these restrictions before selecting the battle format.
Eligibility
Versus Battles are currently limited to models at the Socialite level or above. Models below that level are not currently eligible to participate.
Scheduling a battle
Eligible models who want to arrange a Versus Battle must contact the Broadcasting team at [email protected]. The scheduling request should include the model’s preferred days and time.
Once scheduled, the two participating models compete for the selected 30-minute or one-hour period, provided both continue meeting the minimum requirement of 100 credits every 10 minutes. Customers determine the winner through their tips, and the model with the most credits when the battle ends takes the win.
Chaturbate Revises App Directory Ratings and Reviews
Chaturbate has updated its App Directory ratings and reviews system to help creators evaluate apps using feedback from people who have actually used them. The changes add reviewer eligibility rules, more usage context, greater emphasis on recent feedback, and stronger standards designed to make ratings more useful and harder to manipulate.
Eligibility for Ratings and Reviews
Only age-verified accounts may submit or edit app reviews. To submit a new rating or review, a creator must also have used the app for at least one hour during a stream within the previous 90 days.
Each user may leave one review per app. That review can be edited at any time, provided the account remains age-verified.
More Context and Recent Feedback
Reviews now include more information about the reviewer’s experience, including how long the creator has used the app. This is meant to help other creators better understand the basis for each rating.
Overall app scores are now weighted toward more recent reviews. As a result, an app’s rating should reflect its current quality more closely instead of relying equally on its entire review history.
App Review Guidelines
Creators and developers may not manipulate ratings. Prohibited conduct includes offering tips, gifts, or other benefits in exchange for a rating or review. Attempts to buy five-star reviews are also prohibited.
Spam and repetitive content are not allowed. Copy-pasted reviews, large numbers of nearly identical comments, and irrelevant text may be treated as spam.
Reviews and developer responses must follow Chaturbate’s existing community guidelines. Hate speech, personal attacks, and harassment are not permitted.
Reviews must stay focused on the app. Relevant subjects include its behavior, performance, reliability, and overall user experience. Unrelated grievances should not be included.
Reviews or responses that violate these rules may be removed. Accounts or apps that significantly harm the app ecosystem may also face additional enforcement.
Public Responses From Developers
App developers can now respond publicly to reviews. A developer may post one public reply to each review of an app. Developer responses are subject to the same standards covering manipulation, spam, hate speech, harassment, and off-topic content.
Measures Against Fraudulent Reviews
The age-verification requirement, one-hour minimum use rule, and 90-day recent-use requirement are intended to make false ratings more difficult to submit.
The guidelines also explicitly ban incentives and other attempts to manipulate scores. Chaturbate’s moderation tools allow its team to remove abusive or fraudulent reviews and take action against accounts or apps when appropriate.
Creators and developers with questions or feedback about the revised system may contact Chaturbate’s support team.
