"Discord Starts Notifying Users Affected by March Data Breach"

Discord has recently started reaching out to users affected by a data breach disclosed earlier this year to let them know what Personal Identifying Information (PII) was exposed in the incident.  Discord noted that the breach stemmed from a security breach at a third-party service provider detected on March 29, involving the compromise of an account belonging to a customer support agent.  This incident was subsequently disclosed on May 12 through emails sent to potentially affected individuals.  Discord noted that the attackers gained access to the agent's support ticket queue, user email addresses, messages they exchanged with Discord support, and support ticket attachments.
