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

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.
