Every email with a cdn.discordapp.com/attachments link has been blocked at the gateway for 60%+ of the Fortune 100 since January 2022. The global configuration history I'm looking at is actually kind of funny, you can see the "god damn it" moment:

    "stateChanges": [
        {
            "state": "ACTIVE",
            "date": "2022-01-19T04:47:37Z"
        },
        {
            "state": "FALSE_POSITIVE",
            "date": "2022-01-26T09:13:03Z"
        },
        {
            "state": "ACTIVE",
            "date": "2022-01-28T00:41:17Z"
        }
    ]
Discord is responsible for handling reports about malicious content, so by shortening the lifetime of all content to 24 hours they're effectively giving themselves a 24-hour response SLA for free. It's a very reasonable move.

Mozilla went through the same thing with Firefox Send and ended up discontinuing it altogether: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/what-happened-firefox-s....
