A site that is scraping Discord, storing users’ activity and messages across servers including what voice channels they are active in, and then selling access to that data for as little as $5, has links to Kiwi Farms, the notorious troll and harassment site, 404 Media has found.
The news presents additional context on how the tool, called Spy Pet, is being used and by whom. 404 Media also learned that Discord has known about the scraping site since at least February, according to multiple screenshots of reports filed to Discord.
“It’s definitely distressing knowing that my information, such as servers, about me, previous usernames & message logs are publicly available—I have had more than one person harass me with the information available on the site,” one person whose information is included in the scraped Discord data told 404 Media in an online chat. 404 Media granted the person anonymity to protect them from retaliation.
