So you know how LTT got hacked? So did Patreon, apparently.

Dear (me),

 

Yesterday we learned that there was unauthorized access to a Patreon database containing user information. Our engineering team has since blocked this access and taken immediate measures to prevent future breaches. We apologize to you for this breach of trust. The Patreon team is working especially hard right now to ensure the safety of the community.

 

There was unauthorized access to registered names, email addresses, posts, and some shipping addresses. Additionally, some billing addresses that were added prior to 2014 were also accessed. We do not store full credit card numbers on our servers and no credit card numbers were compromised. Although accessed, all social security numbers and tax form information remain safely encrypted, and all passwords securely hashed. No specific action is required of you, but as a precaution we recommend that all users update their passwords on Patreon.

 

For further details, we encourage you to read this update from our CEO and reach out to us with any additional questions at (their email address)

 

Sincerely, 

The Patreon Team

 

 

Quite interesting that they had just gotten hacked as well. Looks like I will be continuing to change my passwords. Anyone else use Patreon?

*facedesk* I just made a god damn Patreon account yesterday! What the heck!

I have a friend who uses Patreon that gets money from some of his fan. Though he hasn't talked about the issue. On the other hand, it seems like people who only use the site to contribute and not affected by this as much as the ones that do. I only had to change the password.

Then you shouldn't have to do anything, as this took place before you signed up.

Thank goodness.

Welp, I just changed my password on Patreon, even though I only really support 1 dev (Pharimar)

Ugh,

I thought patreon was despised with the likes of kickstarter here

Had to Google search what it (Patreon) was...

guess that is about the extent of damage for me, I am too small of a fish. Even through I pay content creators directly for phone apps and donate to places like Wikipedia.

Although it reminds me of the Lastpass breach thread -click here- from earlier this year.
