One of Discord’s third-party customer service providers was compromised by an “unauthorized party,” the company says.

So, not Discord but a 3rd party company that handle Discord's customer service, and if you didn't use their customer service then you're not affected.

    So, Discord - by forcing your acceptance of their tos which renders them immune from damages done by "third parties*

    By offloading a term of service that Discord requires you to provide.

    If they force you to give the info, they are responsible for handling and storing it properly, no matter what some evil lawyer or exec says.

    If laws make bad things legal because rich people can use words, then there needs to be some form of redress to return the spirit of the laws to the people.

    Maybe we all make usernames with a legally binding personal ToS that is deemed agreed upon by the corporation accepting the username.

    This is just a shell game and they are conmen.

    Moral of the story, never ask for help.

    Moral of the story - tech co's and gov id requirements are evil and have no basis in actual security.

    Now that peoples data has been exposed, they are susceptible to id theft. So, how does a site or gov deal with that?

    There suddenly are over 9000 Stan Smith's on the site. Weird.

    Well, guys, for the safety of... .. (Murmuring... We're using the kids as justification this time or terrorism... Kids. OK.) the children, we will require a blood sample to verify your genetic code.

    Thank you and have a nice day and welcome to gattaca.
