Surprise surprise, it's much worse than they admitted!

In their Telegram group, the hackers took issue with Discord earlier saying the breach impacted a "small number of government-ID images." The hackers posted a screenshot of what they presented as the size of the stolen data: 1.5 terabytes.
Then on Wednesday the hackers started posting Discord samples of user data. That included selfies of people holding up their ID documents. At least two of these are from people holding identity documents from the U.S. and Canada. Some of these are images where the individual person is clearly visible; others are screenshots of larger folders containing thumbnails of the images.
