Maine pulls breach‑report portal after fake filings impersonated Discord and VRChat

"VRChat did not submit this Notice of Data Incident, and we have no reason to believe that our systems have been compromised. We are in the process of contacting the Maine Attorney General's office to have this removed." - Tupper This appears to be fake? Stay updated, someone trolled the AG.

Haha wait Discord had a fake data breach too? 🤦”anyone can submit a breach notification form and have it added to the portal without verification.” www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/securit...

Maine took its breach reporting portal offline after fake filings impersonating Discord and VRChat were posted. The Attorney General is reviewing procedures after the hoaxes were removed. #Maine #Discord #VRChat
