Discord Content Being Sold by Spy Site

A spy site named Spypet is scraping Discord and selling user messages. It scrapes data from over 10,000 Discord servers, tracking messages and activities. This service offers user data access for mere $5, and it claims to track more than 14,000 servers and 600 million users, including a database of over 3 billion messages. While private messages haven't been intercepted, other information like server activities, connected accounts, and recent messages are at risk. Discord is investigating the situation to protect user privacy.
