Discord also confirms that hackers accessed user data by breaching a third-party service provider called 5CA, which the platform used to support its customer service efforts.The hack underscores the arguments being made by age-verification critics. Pornhub’s parent company, for example, has blocked its sites in states with age-verification laws because it says people won’t want to upload their personal documents for fear that they might be breached in the future. Being exposed as a Discord user versus a Pornhub member is slightly different, but hackers don’t discriminate; they just want your details. Should we opt out of social platforms ?
