This Discord Zendesk compromise has gotten more silly.
Previously, the Threat Actors responsible for the Discord Zendesk compromise claimed they had gotten access by compromising a BPO (Business Process Outsource) employee.
They were not lying.
It turns out that in August the Threat Actors who compromised Discord began sending emails to Discord outsourced employees offering them money in exchange for access to Discords internals.
The people they emailed was a very small team located in Southeast Asia. This particular office only has a handful of employees assigned to working Discord helpdesk (including age verification). This team is assigned to primarily handle back log work. This team had a great deal of access and were believed to be "trusted".
One of the emails this small team received offered $500 compensation to prove they're a Discord BPO employee. They offered an additional "several thousand dollar" lump sum payment in exchange for giving them access.
The Discord BPO employees were told to ignore the emails. Unfortunately, it appears one of these BPO employees did not ignore the emails and accepted the bribe.
$500 in this Southeastern Asian country is an astronomical amount of money. The "several thousand dollar" lump sum payment would be enough for this person to live comfortably for several years in their country.
