The instant messaging and VoIP platform suffered a data breach in April of this year.
In total, theDiscord data breachexposed roughly 4.2 billion Discord messages from 256 million users.
That’s a whole lot of memes, DMs and community servers exposed.
The breach took place after a hacker gained unauthorized access to the organisation’s servers.
This included provider information, information related to medical claims, clinical information (e.g.
conditions or diagnosis, treatment information and medications) and health insurance information.
AT&T has not yet made public how either of these hacks happened.
Roughly a third of Americans had their data compromised in February 2024 following thehack of Change Healthcare.
The hack was extensive, impacting a number of other health insurance companies and pharmacies.
The breach was sparked by a hacker gaining access to National Public Data’s systems in December 2023.
ShinyHunters posted about the data breach online, offering the data set for $500,000.
ShinyHunters gained access to the data by stealing login details for Snowflake, Ticketmaster’s cloud storage service.
ShinyHunters also targeted more than 160 other Snowflake customers with similar data theft, including banking group Santander.
