What happened

In October 2026, the Discord server protection service Double Counter suffered a data breach attributed to a vulnerability in the Metabase analytics tool. In its disclosure notice, Double Counter advised that attackers gained access to a subset of its data. A corpus of data was subsequently published publicly and contained 275k unique email addresses and Discord usernames. A small number of records belonging to paying subscribers whose purchases were processed via Stripe were also present and included names, countries and postcodes.

What was exposed, and why it matters

Not all breaches carry the same risk — what matters is which fields leaked. Here is what the Double Counter breach exposed and what each item actually enables:

Location data
weight 6 / 10
Reveals where you live, work or travel, which supports both targeted scams and physical-safety risks.
Names and usernames
weight 4 / 10
Links this leak to your other accounts — a reused username lets anyone build a profile of you across platforms.
Email addresses
weight 3 / 10
Puts you on spam and phishing lists, and confirms to attackers that you hold an account with this service — which makes impersonation emails more believable.

Also listed in this breach: Email addresses, Geographic locations, Names, Usernames.

What to do if you were affected

These steps are ordered for this specific breach — the most urgent action given what leaked comes first.

  1. Location data
    Review location sharing on the accounts you still hold with this service.
  2. Names and usernames
    Search your usual username to see what else it exposes, and use distinct handles for sensitive accounts.
  3. Email addresses
    Treat any message referencing this service with suspicion, and never act on links in unexpected emails.
  4. Confirm you were actually in it
    Run a free scan before you spend time on the steps above.

How urgent is this now?

This breach is recent, so the data is actively traded and the risk is at its highest right now.

Remember: a breach can’t be “un-leaked” — once a database is out, it exists in countless copies. The goal is to make the leaked data useless: change what can be changed, lock down what can’t, and remove what has been republished.
