Though they were meant to be temporary and deleted upon verification, over 1.5TB of Discord verification images (selfies) have been swiped by hackers, totaling more than two million user photos.
According to Insider Gaming, 2,185,151 age-verification images, i.e., selfies, alongside other private user information, have been stolen by hackers during a September intrusion into Discord's network. Discord Previews has said that the hackers' motive was to “extort” the company, and that the stolen data is being actively used for this purpose.
