Messaging app Discord suffered a breach on Sept. 20 in which around 70,000 global users may have had their government ID photos exposed (see 2510090008). Some blamed age-verification mandates, as the images exposed were submitted as part of an age-determination appeal (see 2510060063).
Canadian airline WestJet suffered a breach that leaked the sensitive information of more than 1 million customers in June, though it began notifying those impacted at the end of September (see 2510020022).
Lynch Carpenter encouraged individuals who had received a breach notification from either incident to reach out to the firm.
