TL;DR

Hackers claim to have stolen data of 5.5 million Discord users from the company's Zendesk support system, including government IDs and partial payment info, but Discord denies a breach and suggests the attack involved a compromised third-party support account. The hackers demand ransom and threaten to leak the data if not paid, while Discord states they will not reward illegal actions.
