The platform says hackers targeted a firm that helped to verify the ages of its users.
As far as discord is concerned, I’m a proud citizen of Albania now. Much like Eric Adams.
Wao, again? The reasons why people keep using these bullshit services really make my mind spin. This is no different than people choosing to stay in a relationship with an abusing partner.
Edit: I just saw this is from last year’s leak. Still, the likeness remains.
Wow, and now they want to relay your info through 2 or 3 parties for verications.
Who could’ve seen that coming?
I thought that they were deleting the photos immediately after verification. They didn’t??? Why aren’t these companies being investigated and punished?
This is from the leak last year. What leaked was pictures uploaded to their ticket system to appeal the result of a failed verification.
Why? For example, XING just got sold and with it all personal information. This is why they didn’t.
It would be a clear gdpr violation in Europe
Because money. We’ll soon have to take things into our own hands, as the establishment only protects itself, and not us plebs.
May? May? Just say that IDs where leaked. We all know nowdays that for sure are leaked.
I’m glad you added from 2025 there because otherwise it would have been super deceptive.
I definitely thought it happened again, and I was gonna be like, well that was fast. Like we all know it’s going to happen again, but that would have been extremely fast.
really posting something from last year when the age thing is coming out
Oh this is gonna be sweet, my photo is of a 1970’s pr0nstar.
This is the fediverse. No one is going to care if use use naughty words.
penus
oh goodness this is exciting
I saw someone in this very community get in trouble for using “the r word” yesterday lol
“Porn” is not a slur. You should be able to tell the difference.
Not all naughty words are slurs, but all slurs are naughty words. You should be able to tell the difference.
we’re in a world now where we have to assume our photos, driver’s licenses and medical records are all leaked. Guard you bank account appropriately.
Ooh no! Some Russian troll farm now knows my favorite color.
Storing raw photos feels like storing plaintext passwords. Hackers have access to your password and your photo now.
This article is a year old, but relevant because Discord started doing the verifications again. The plan was never canceled, just delayed to a later news cycle. And this will absolutely happen again because there are no consequences.
Here is a more recent ID verification service breach.
