A third party security for Discord got hacked and breached about a million emails, after Discord decided rolling out the age verification was perfectly fine and dandy (note: this wasn't the company apparently storing those verifications). Who woulda thunk: www.rockpapershotgun.com/hackers-stea...

Hackers steal millions of Discord IDs and email addresses in "deliberate, multi-stage attack" on security service Double Counter
Discord's privacy woes continue as hackers of a third-party security tool make off with 1 million user email addresses.
![[Update: 13 August 2026: This Week in Videogames requested a follow-up comment from Saber Interactive, and received the following statement from Karch:
"Stella who? I had to ask Claude because I have never spoken to her or seen her. We have already said we are using AI for certain parts of the game and will update the Steam page once we have finalized the feature set.
"Let me clarify that the entire story concept, were it to win an award, would go to someone who can walk up on stage and receive it. It was always our intention to reveal this until Stella violated her confidentiality clause and revealed this before we were ready.
"We look at our use of AI in this particular game, which will be a lower priced title, as a plus for consumers," he said.
"As far as Stella is concerned, she was replaced by someone more talented and terminated for a variety of reasons a few months later. From what I can gather she enjoys controversy even more than I do. I would frankly in retrospect have been happy to replace her with AI. At least we would be dealing with someone programmed to be honest."]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:44tvdwwrni3vabmobqrf2xto/bafkreidxwt7zq5i6iu3aapo3yzu5eenvopgqinkpwkacerxj52eqh2j7ty)
