Patreon

In October 2015, Patreon, a popular crowdfunding platform, experienced a significant data breach that exposed approximately 2.3 million user accounts. The breach occurred when hackers exploited an exposed mirror of the site intended for testing and development purposes. The compromised data included usernames, email addresses, posts, some shipping addresses, and a limited number of billing addresses. However, financial information, passwords, social security numbers, and tax form information remained encrypted and secure
