if I had to guess there's something big about to come down the pipe regarding security vulnerabilities
There's always Fanbox if they're willing to learn Pixiv. Patreon was also notoriously hostile to the NSFW creatives so they're already using alternative services
Sure, when you're stupid and do it all at once.
Unless you're afraid of a whistleblower about something that your security team was unaware of.
Give it to me, doc.
What you do at Patreon is you take the security issues from the customer and bring them down to the software engineers?
Yes, yes that's right.
Well then, I just have to ask, why can't the customers take them directly to the software people?
Well, I'll tell you why...because...engineers are not good at dealing with customers.
So you physically take the reports from the customer?
Well... No. Our support portal does that, or they're emailed.
So then you must physically bring them to the software people?
Well. No. Yeah. I mean, sometimes.
What...what would you say you do here?
Well...well look. I already told you, I deal with the god damn customers so the engineers don't have to. I have people skills. I am good at dealing with people! Can't you understand that!? WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!?
I would at least consider removing your pledges and clearing all payment methods, but if the breach is bad enough that information is probably already compromised
insufficient
Nobody wants to pay me for anything anyway! Capitalism, baby!

if the internal security team was mostly guiding the outside contractors on what they should be doing, yes, for an org that size it could very well be
See you guys in 30 days

Could also be they subcontracted security and gave oversight to a mid level manager to “manage the program.”
Could also be someone loaded a crypto miner on their servers. That’s been an ongoing problem for orgs.
Why the fuck would you outsource security?

Because you don’t have in-house security specialists.
So you can hire a company that's good at it instead of trying to hire a handful of folks to do it when you have no way of auditing whether they're doing a good job or not because security isn't your knowledge base.
To be clear - that's what I mean. I understand why your standard empty suits might do it, but it's madness.
