**TL;DR:**

This should shock the conscience of people who support digital IDs and online age verifications schemes like these. But will it?

Hello!

Today I received official email from Discord saying… that my information had been leaked.

Luckily I was using alias.

Thank you for sharing. I didn’t get an email, so I’m assuming I wasn’t affected. I use an alias too and only use Discord on web, so I should be ok.

In filing [DMCA take down requests](https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=18954746269463) (among other related legal requests/complains), you have to fill out a physical address. I assume that’s how they got access to government-issued photo IDs, because [appealing and updating age verification](https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=360000029731) is handled via support requests/tickets. So if you’ve filled out the DMCA- or trademark-related requests before, it’s possible that your physical address has been leaked, opposite to what Discord has stated.

I find it interest that this post isn’t getting more replies considering how large of a platform Discord is. But I suppose that is because most people here do not use it.
