The Discord.io custom invite service has temporarily shut down following a data breach that exposed information for 760K users. While not an official Discord site, the third-party service allowed visitors to search for Discord servers based on content and for server owners to create custom invites to their channels.
On August 13, a hacker known as ‘Akhirah’ began selling the Discord.io database on the Breached hacking forums. According to the hacker, the database contains information for 760,000 members, including usernames, Discord IDs, email addresses, and billing addresses among other details.
The breach is believed to have been caused by a vulnerability in the Discord.io website that provided access to the database. The site recommends that users who joined before 2018 update their password if shared with other websites.
