Post by: worhiper_-_ on November 22, 2015, 09:19:19 AM
Someone is trying to extort patreon users after a data leak took place and he got held of their emails. Please be aware that he doesn't have the information claiming to, you shouldn't pay the demanded ransom.

Ah well , thanks for the warning but I don't see any relation to bitcoin on the site. Would be better if you move this thread to off-topic. Thanks for the clarification
There is a dump available after a hack (http://techcrunch.com/2015/10/05/patreon-hacked-gigabytes-of-data-and-code-leaked/)

Never heard of the site though.

They're in fact asking for a bitcoin ransom. See:

Sure patreon doesn't accept bitcoin but it's still talk about it as a service, and bitcoin is related to this incident in specific.
