Discord Users Are Being Tracked Through Data-Scraping Site

Internet-scraping outfit Spy.pet claims to have harvested more than four billion public messages made by nearly 620 million users on more than 14,000 Discord chat servers – and is selling access to this trove.

The website presents the data it’s collected in several ways. Each known user has a profile, which contains all known aliases, pronouns, connected accounts to other platforms such as Steam and GitHub, Discord servers joined, and public messages. If you wanted to quite literally spy on a Discord user or users, Spy.pet lets you do that, for a fee.

    Oh yes exactly the way that regulators try to hide corporate investors behind these fig leaves like spending 5 minutes clicking switches to protect sensitive data otherwise whoops! we sold the location of a mother trying to escape stalking from her ex-husband! Whoops, we gave away all the personal information of these schoolchildren to anyone who could find it! Well, we gotta make a living somehow!
