Hackers breach Patreon and dump almost 15GBs of personal user data online

[Lord Nite]

Crowdfunding platform Patreon suffered a major security breach yesterday with many user details - including passwords, names and addresses – being among the data that was stolen. To make matters even worse for the site, it’s been discovered that nearly 15GBs worth of the pilfered information has been leaked online.

No one has come forward to claim responsibility for the hack and the subsequent data dump, which revealed 2.3 million email addresses, passwords, donation records, and private messages. The leaked data, which was found on file-sharing sites, was inspected by security researcher Troy Hunt who told Ars Technica that it almost certainly came from Patreon servers and was “more extensive and potentially damaging to users than he previously assumed.”

Personal Opinion: Honestly, this is getting on the high side of ridiculous.  With all these breaches happening recently, you'd think people would try to beef up their security and put their source code on offline media.
