Double Counter security bot breach exposes Discord users’ data

Double Counter disclosed the October 4, 2026, breach, Cybersecurity News reports. Attackers copied about 12 GB of database records, and a stolen bot token was used to post unwanted invitations across roughly 50 large Discord servers. Citing Double Counter’s incident report, Cybersecurity News says the attack was contained, service was restored at 19:19, and an audit of 14 cloud projects found no backdoors. The breach involved the bot provider’s systems, not a confirmed compromise of Discord itself.
