Discord Bot Double Counter Breach Exposes IPs Tied to 28 Million Accounts
Double Counter, an anti-alt-account bot used in more than 600,000 Discord servers, said in an October 5 incident report that a hacker copied about 12GB of data in 25 minutes. The data ties to roughly 28 million Discord accounts: usernames, IDs, IP addresses, and city-level locations, with about one million email addresses copied in full. The attacker got in through an old, unpatched server. Dexerto reports Discord paused new bot installs afterward.
