An unidentified individual has listed the data of 760,000 Discord.io users for sale on a darknet forum. This discovery was brought to light by the “Information Leaks” Telegram channel, associated with the Russian service for tracking vulnerabilities, data leaks, and monitoring fraudulent online resources.
For clarity, Discord.io is a third-party interface tailored for the widely-used Discord messenger. The offered database comprises details like email addresses, hashed passwords, and other user-specific data.
Discord.imo, for anyone unsure like me, seems to be unaffiliated with Discord itself and simply a website to find Discord servers to join. It’s offline now.
Edit: Ah I see the article mentions that as well, it didn‘t load for me earlier.
Might still be good to have that info here. The amount of upvotes makes it seem like a lot of people might think this is about Discord itself.
I’m actually curious where did they got the passwords from? Discord.io looks to be using Discord itself for authenticating users, but I myself have never used the service so I have no idea.
At first glance that’s what it looks like, but it’s good that your comment is the top for clarity.
