First reported by StackDiary and The Register, a website called Spy.pet claims to have scraped billions of public Discord messages made by almost 620 million users, selling the individual messages and profiles for crypto.

Spy.pet ties message logs to the users who sent them, and also collects Discord aliases and linked social media and Steam accounts⁠—it's basically one stop shopping for any surveillance and harassment needs. Spy.pet further purports to offer an "enterprise option" for anyone looking to train an AI model on the site's library of messages.
