Discord Data Breach: 5CA Denies Wrongdoing
A new twist emerges in the Discord data breach, exposing information and ID photos of over 70,000 users worldwide.
Discord names 5CA, a third-party service provider, as the vendor responsible for the breach. However, 5CA denies any wrongdoing, stating its systems haven’t been hacked.
On Oct. 3, 2025, Discord reported that an unauthorized party gained access to one of its third-party customer service providers, affecting users who interacted with Customer Support or Trust & Safety.
In an updated statement on Oct. 9, Discord formally stated that 5CA, a Netherlands-based customer experience firm, was the provider involved in the breach.
The attackers, identifying themselves as the Scattered Lapsus$ Hunters (SLH), allegedly breached 5CA’s support ticket environment and took 1.6 terabytes of data.
The Dutch company denies any wrongdoing.
