Nothing to do with Digital ID's but all the click bait youtubers are making it about that.

The system that was breached was a 3rd party company who is/was contracted to do support for Discord, so if you were locked out of your account etc it is likely them that you spoke to as Discord itself does not it would appear have their own support staff for users, only for employed staff.

If you have never had to speak to the end user support team then you are I would say safe, because you won't have received the email, however if you have contacted them, then you are likely getting the email.

Again this has nothing to do with Digital ID's because this has happened previously where Discord and others were breached and information was taken, not one of those times was anything linked to Digital ID's, but now because of the Online Safety Act every click baiter is linking anything they possibly can to it.


I don't want a Digital ID, the Government have enough ways to track my movements, spending etc I don't need them to have a way to block my access to being able to use a bus etc, so I do not agree with the Digital ID system at all, it's a farce and control scheme plain and simple, but people need to stop linking it to everything and anything they can.

I expect next week some headline "Car stolen from air port because the owner did not have a digital id" or some other BS article.

I also do not expect the Government to have the safety up to scratch for where the databases are stored with everyone's details, but let's face it and be real here, what information is someone going to get from a Digital ID that they cannot already get from a Bank, Facebook, HMRC, Companies you have worked at etc etc, 99.9999% of our information is already on the internet, already in the hands of criminals and if you think it's not, then you need to wake up because not least is it in the hands of the Government, the biggest bunch of criminals on the planets!
