Discord isn't the one that got hacked and leaked the info, it's whatever 3rd party they used.

Discord vetted and chose that vendor. They are liable, and as a corporate person, their corporate charter should be revoked until it has served 70,000 sentences of accessory to identity theft.

Unless we are a nation of cowards and weaklings of course. So who are we?
