Discord reports potential leak of official ID photos for 70,000 users due to a cyber-attack.
The breach targeted a third-party firm handling age verification, not Discord's platform directly.
Leaked data may include personal information, partial credit card details, and customer service messages.
No full credit card details, passwords, or non-support-related messages were compromised.
Discord has contacted affected users and is collaborating with law enforcement.
The customer support provider's access to the targeted system has been revoked.
Zendesk, Discord's customer service software provider, denies any compromise in its systems.
Online claims of a larger breach are dismissed by Discord as inaccurate and extortion attempts.
Personal data like full names and ID numbers are highly valuable to cybercriminals.
Discord has previously enhanced age-verification to combat misuse of its platform.
