Normally, no.
And this data breach wasn't technically to Discord either, it was to a third party company that does some part of customer support for them and the data and IDs leaked were from people who had contacted support because they were flagged underaged, and sent their ID to verify they weren't.

Which also kinda explains why they weren't deleted as they should be, they were just attatchements to support tickets, and not a "proper" verification system.
