"Discord, a messaging platform popular with gamers, says official ID photos of around 70,000 users have potentially been leaked after a #CyberAttack.

"The platform, which has more than 200 million users worldwide, says hackers had targeted a firm that helped to verify the ages of its users but the Discord platform itself was not breached.

"People can provide ID photos to verify their age on Discord - a networking hub for players to chat and share files with others in the gaming community."

Wow, the damage from that Red Hat GitLab breach seems to be getting worse by the day. Jeez.

The Crimson Collective, the cybercriminal gang claiming responsibility for breaching the repo and stealing over 500GB of data, now seems to be collaborating with other cybercriminal gangs to extort Red Hat.

From the article, the cybercrim alliance:

"threatens to publish a "multi terabyte of data haul of your most sensitive intellectual property" and accuses Red Hat of failing to safeguard what it claims are trade secrets and personal data, invoking GDPR and US state privacy laws. It also reckons Red Hat's doors were kicked in on September 13 – weeks before the company came clean about the break-in."

Moral hazard ahoy:

Jaguar Land Rover had no insurance cover for cyber attacks & covering the costs of the recent disruption themselves..... so the UK Govt. is looking at how some form of state-aid might helps the firm weather this problem.

Of course, one might argues this will then dissuade other major firms from taking out cyber-attack insurance, if they can make the case to politicians they are a vital industry that needs 'saving'.

More corporate welfare!
