In a significant data breach, nearly 760,000 Discord.io members’ information has been compromised and advertised for sale on a darknet forum by a hacker using the pseudonym “Akhirah.” The breach, which occurred on August month has raised concerns about the privacy and security of user data on the platform.
Details of the Data Breach:
The hacker, operating under the alias “Akhirah,” demonstrated the severity of the breach by revealing four user records from the compromised database. The leaked information includes email addresses, hashed passwords, and other user-specific details. The compromised database is currently being sold on the newly emerged Breach Forums, now under the control of the notorious ShinyHunter hackers.
Discord.io’s Response:
Upon confirmation of the data breach, Discord.io took immediate action to safeguard its users. The platform released a statement on its website and Discord server, acknowledging the breach and announcing the temporary suspension of all operations. Discord.io verified the accuracy of the stolen information and promptly terminated all paid memberships while shutting down its services.
Discord’s Clarification:
Discord, the parent company of Discord.io, clarified that it is not affiliated with Discord.io and does not share user information with the platform. A Discord spokesperson emphasized the company’s commitment to protecting user privacy and data. Additionally, Discord has revoked OAuth tokens for any user who has used Discord.io, preventing the app from performing actions on behalf of those users until re-authentication.
User Recommendations:
In light of the data breach, Discord.io users are strongly advised to take immediate measures to enhance the security of their accounts. Discord recommends enabling Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) to provide an extra layer of protection. The company has also suggested considering SMS Authentication for added security.
Furthermore, users should be vigilant for suspicious emails containing links to pages requesting passwords or other personal details. If such emails are received, users are urged not to click on any links and to report the incident to Discord.io immediately.
Taking proactive steps, Discord users are encouraged to change their passwords promptly and implement two-factor authentication on their accounts. By following these recommendations, users can strengthen their account security and reduce the risk of unauthorized access.
Conclusion:
The Discord.io data breach serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing threats to online privacy and security. As technology continues to advance, users must remain vigilant and take proactive steps to protect their personal information. By staying informed about potential risks and implementing recommended security measures, users can contribute to creating a safer online environment.
