What is it with our side and flimsy security? Gab got breached as well.
You have to assume any website out there is inevitably going to be breached - see Google leaking 50+ million G+ accounts, 500 million FB accounts getting leaked, and the Twitter admin account breach all within the last couple years. Your security WILL be breached, it's just a matter of time, and that is adjusted by the motivation levels of the attackers. And, even if we make the assumption that no alphabet agencies are involved, the media frenzy means there's a lot of (figuratively, if not literally) bloodthirsty nutters out there determined to act the brownshirts and stomp out the "white supremacists".
The question becomes (beyond putting measures in place to stop most attackers), how do you organize your systems to ensure that when the breach happens it does minimal damage to your users. All the names getting leaked is bad, yes, but I would hope (and have heard nothing to the contrary) that in this case the financial data for all of these people is safe
