So uh, according to this article, and also Mutahar ( not sure what his source was )...

Yeah it was "apparently" ZenDesk that got compromised.

I... think that might actually be worse, as... ZenDesk is used a lot by a lot of B2B and client facing type shit.

Because that would mean ZenDesk are actually the people not deleting photo ids and other PII.

Yeah, Discord itself seems to be fine, in the sense of their own in house systems not being comprimised, but uh yeah, yeah, this is what happens when you leave things to trusted expert vendors who are in fact not experts and probably should not be trusted.

Yeah, this is why... the model of ... requiring your actual identification to do more and more on the net... is very bad.

You are basically just doxxing yourself with a randomly timed fuse, at this rate, everybody, every business gets hacked, all the time, its just normal now.

So anyway yeah, hope you didn't send a support ticket to Discord any time lately.
