On October 3, Discord issued a warning that it was the victim of a “Security Incident” that involved a third-party customer service platform. In reporting following the breach, it appears to be an attack on Zendesk.
Discord’s account of the incident claims that it impacted a “limited number of users” who had contacted its Customer Support or Trust & Safety teams.
