        At least put the article date in the title. I thought it was a new occurrence as well.

    Here I was hoping for a new leak to rub it in people’s faces. Oh well, to keep waiting.

    Government IDs should never end up in ordinary data breaches.

    It wasn’t a discord data breach. It was a third party. It’s like saying “social security numbers leaked in government data breach” but it was in fact the Equifax data breach of a different third party company that never should have been sent the information in the first place, but was required to due to a law.
