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.

  1. Should Discord servers stop forcing members through third-party verification bots?
  2. Would you leave a server that logs your IP just to stop alt accounts?
  3. Is Discord responsible when a bot it allows leaks your data?
