I knew this was gonna happen

[–] theherk@lemmy.world 54 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Candidly, I did not expect it so soon.

I am honestly surprised it took this long for a company to get hacked(surprised it was discord though).

They're not the first. The first one happened in the same week the digital safety act was put in place

Noe that makes more sense.

IIRC it was before the end of the first day too haha

To be fair it was a third party partner, not Discord itself. But you of course knew that since you read the first sentence of the article.

One of Discord’s third-party customer service providers was compromised by an “unauthorized party”

That doesn't actually change anything, though.

I was thinking that, you'd think they'd strike once the pot is a little larger.

And you didn't tell Discord??

[–] Simulation6@sopuli.xyz 6 points 5 days ago

I am surprised it took this long. Probably happening since day one and just now getting reported.

Even if it wasn't, they would sold your data to someone anyways, MEta being obivous
