Patreon Lays Off Its Entire Security Team

From PC Mag: Patreon has reportedly laid off its entire security team.

CyberScoop reports that several former employees have confirmed the layoffs, which occurred last week, and that Patreon doesn't seem to be worried about no longer having a security team.

"As part of a strategic shift of a portion of our security program, we have parted ways with five employees," Patreon told CyberScoop. "The changes made this week will have no impact on our ability to continue providing a secure and safe platform for our creators and patrons."

NBC News reporter Kevin Collier says that Patreon said in a statement that it "partner[s] with a number of external organizations to continuously develop our security capabilities and conduct regular security assessments to ensure we meet or exceed the highest industry standards."
