What pisses me off the most is that people can get life-long troubles from leaks like these. Identity theft, scams, etc. Yet these fuckers only say "we sorry" and that's it.

I just now dug up my discord account and nuked it. They won't see me using their shit again. Thankfully I've not given them any ID or data.
