IDs of Some Discord Users Appealing Age Determination Have Been Leaked

As stated in Discord’s official statement addressing the breach, an “unauthorized party” compromised one of the platform’s third-party customer service providers, accessing information from a limited number of users who had contacted Discord’s Customer Support or Trust & Safety teams.

Due to this attack, the unnamed intruders obtained a number of government ID images, including driver’s licenses and passports, from some of the users who had appealed an age determination. In addition, the breach also resulted in the exposure of names, Discord usernames, emails, the last four digits of credit card numbers, purchase histories (if linked to the account), IP addresses, and messages with Discord’s customer service agents for some users.

The platform also clarified that more sensitive information, such as full credit card numbers or CVV codes, messages or activity on Discord outside of customer support interactions, and passwords or authentication data, was not impacted.

Tumbleweed rover tests demonstrate transformative technology for low cost Mars exploration

A swarm of spherical rovers, blown by the wind like tumbleweeds, could enable large-scale and low-cost exploration of the Martian surface, according to results presented at the Joint Meeting of the Europlanet Science Congress and the Division for Planetary Sciences (EPSC-DPS) 2025.

Recent experiments in a state-of-the-art wind tunnel and field tests in a quarry demonstrate that the rovers could be set in motion and navigate over various terrains in conditions analogous to those found on Mars.

Tumbleweed rovers are lightweight, 5-meter-diameter spherical robots designed to harness the power of Martian winds for mobility. Swarms of the rovers could spread across the red planet, autonomously gathering environmental data and providing an unprecedented, simultaneous view of atmospheric and surface processes from different locations on Mars. A final, stationary phase would involve collapsing the rovers into permanent measurement stations dotted around the surface of Mars, providing long-term scientific measurements and potential infrastructure for future missions.

Some patients could use special eyedrops instead of reading glasses as they age, researcher says

Everybody develops presbyopia as they age—a difficulty in focusing on near objects and text—and often must resort to reading glasses. However, the solution might be as simple as using special eye drops two or three times a day.

A retrospective study of 766 patients presented at the 43rd Congress of the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS) has found that the majority could read an extra two, three or more lines on the eye chart used for testing near visual acuity (the Jaeger chart) after using specially formulated eye drops. This improvement was sustained for up to two years.

Dr. Giovanna Benozzi, director of the Center for Advanced Research for Presbyopia, in Buenos Aires, Argentina, said, We conducted this research due to the significant unmet medical need in presbyopia management. Current solutions such as reading glasses or surgical interventions have limitations, including inconvenience, social discomfort, and potential risks or complications.
