Patreon Fires its Security Team — and the Internet Freaks Out - Security Boulevard

Not OK, Jack:Patreon, the notorious membership monetization platform, laid off its entire security team yesterday. Just like that. Ouch.

3/ And there’s an unsubstantiated rumor that #Patreon has been #hacked again.

In today’s #SBBlogwatch, we hope it’s not as bad as 2015’s #blackmail-fest.

Even so, dev teams should try to familiarize themselves with it (especially if you want to sell to governments).

In this week’s #SSBlogwatch we achieve full buzzword compliance.
