- A father discovered his 13-year-old daughter's Discord account was hacked after she lied about her age to join the app.
- The hacker locked her out, demanded parents' banking info, and targeted her young friends with extortion scams.
- Discord support failed to help, automatically closing tickets and offering no pathway for parental intervention.
- Despite urgent pleas regarding minor safety, the hacker remained active until media intervention resolved the issue.
