Netflix Subpoenas Discord to Identify Source of Major Streaming Content Leak

The subpoena seeks user information tied to leaked episodes and images from high-profile shows like Arcane and Squid Game.

Netflix is pursuing legal action to identify the individual responsible for leaking unreleased episodes and images from its major titles, including Arcane and Squid Game.
A subpoena issued by the Northern District of California court compels Discord to provide identifying details of user @jacejohns4n, who allegedly posted a copyrighted image from Squid Game season 2.
The August leaks, described by the perpetrator as the 'worst leak in streaming history,' involved shows such as Terminator Zero, Heartstopper, and Ranma 1/2, featuring unfinished animations and watermarks.
The leaks originated from a security breach at Iyuno, a California-based localization firm working with Netflix and other major studios, which has launched its own investigation into the incident.
Discord has not publicly commented on the subpoena but has faced similar legal challenges regarding user data in other copyright disputes.
