Discord.io, a service that users use to create custom links for their Discord channels, has announced that they are stopping operations after an enormous data breach.
As per the report, a hacker was able to steal 760,000 user data from Discord.io. The culprit then posted a sample on Breached Forums in a possible attempt to sell the data.

As of writing, the Discord.io website lands on a notice detailing the incident. The page notes that they are “Stopping all operations for the foreseeable future.”
The service said that they have already canceled existing premium subscriptions. They added that they haven’t been contacted by the hacker as of the moment and, as far as they know, “the database itself has not yet been shared publicly.”
As for what sensitive data are part of the link, the service said that it may have included the user’s username, Discord ID, email address, billing address, and salted and hashed password.
But what should you do if you use the service? They said that there’s no need to change your password or do anything as they only store your Discord user ID and not the authentication token.
However, they added that “if you signed up on our site from before 2018, using our previous username/password registration, we urge you to change your password on any other site that might have used the same password.”
