Hackers steal millions of Discord IDs in Double breach
Original: 📰 Hackers steal millions of Discord IDs and email address in "deliberate, multi-stage attack" on security service Double
Attackers have stolen an estimated one million email addresses and Discord user IDs in what security firm Double describes as a deliberate, multi-stage attack. Double Counter, a verification tool used across Discord gaming servers, was hit in the breach, and fears are growing that the number of affected accounts could be far higher.
