An unidentified individual has listed the data of 760,000 Discord.io users for sale on a darknet forum. This discovery was brought to light by the "Information Leaks" Telegram channel, associated with the Russian service for tracking vulnerabilities, data leaks, and monitoring fraudulent online resources.

For clarity, Discord.io is a third-party interface tailored for the widely-used Discord messenger. The offered database comprises details like email addresses, hashed passwords, and other user-specific data.

Yeah but there's a big difference between tokens that can easily be revoked and what could be potentially plain-text passwords.

edit: Okay, so it sounds like they had their own account system back in 2018 separate from Discord. That makes more sense.
