Discord hit with class action lawsuit over September 2025 data hack

A class action lawsuit has been filed against Discord Inc. by plaintiff Jacqueline Uceta, alleging negligence in protecting user data during a recent data breach. The lawsuit claims that Discord failed to implement adequate security measures, leading to the exposure of personally identifiable information (PII) – including government IDs, IP addresses, and billing information – for approximately 70,000 users around September 20, 2025. Uceta asserts that Discord was aware of potential vulnerabilities in its third-party customer support services but failed to address them.

The lawsuit further alleges that Discord delayed notifying affected users about the breach, waiting until October 3 to inform them. Uceta seeks to represent a nationwide class of individuals whose PII was compromised and is requesting a jury trial, along with declaratory and injunctive relief, as well as actual, compensatory, statutory, and punitive damages.

The complaint accuses Discord of negligence, breach of implied contract, unjust enrichment, and violating the Federal Trade Commission Act. The case is *Uceta v. Discord Inc.*, Case No. 3:25-cv-08582, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.
