Online viewers watched the San Diego mosque attack as it happened, recordings show

CBS News analysis shows multiple viewers watched the San Diego Islamic Center attack live via a Signal livestream, with a Discord user recording and sharing the feed; one viewer urged others to alert police, though it’s unclear if anyone did. The two teen gunmen died by suicide after killing a third victim, and some watchers appeared to be overseas. Discord preserved related data for investigators, while authorities and experts note how online platforms enable such violence.

Discord deploys universal end-to-end encryption for voice and video calls

Discord has enabled default end-to-end encryption for all voice and video calls across desktop, mobile, web, and consoles, extending the DAVE protocol with WebRTC transforms and MLS to minimize latency and secure calls. Stage channels are excluded from encryption, and there’s no opt-in. Text messaging remains unencrypted under this rollout, with Firefox-related compatibility issues resolved during testing.

Discord Sleuths Breach Anthropic’s Mythos Preview, Highlighting AI Tool Access Risks

Discord users allegedly gained unauthorized access to Anthropic’s Mythos Preview by analyzing data from a Mercor breach and guessing the model’s online location, aided by permissions tied to an Anthropic contractor; they accessed Mythos and other unreleased models and used the access to build simple websites rather than perform malicious hacks, underscoring ongoing concerns about access controls for AI development tools.

Molotov Attack on Altman Ties Suspect to Anti-AI Discord Group

A 20-year-old man was arrested after a Molotov cocktail was thrown at OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s home and he allegedly threatened OpenAI’s San Francisco headquarters. The suspect had joined PauseAI’s Discord server about two years ago; PauseAI said he had no role in the group and banned him after the attack. He faces eight charges, including arson of an inhabited structure and attempted murder, as investigators link the incident to security concerns around OpenAI and Altman’s leadership in AI.

Discord's Age-Verification Gaps Exposed in Dad's Nightmarish Hack Rescue

A father fights through Discord’s unhelpful support after his underage daughter—who lied about her age to join—gets hacked and used to target other minors. A data dump shows Discord knew she was a teen before the breach, yet support tickets were closed and escalation was limited, illustrating safety gaps and privacy concerns. The case feeds into broader calls for stronger age checks, with Discord proposing on-device verification and reduced ID collection as global age checks roll out, while parents remain wary about data collection and ongoing access.
