- gingerlime 8y agoVery low fine considering how bad the breach was (and lack of basic security). Any idea of how much revenue this company is making?
- preya2k 8y agoNope, since this is a GmbH, they don't need to publicly disclose their numbers. But I read they have about 4 million members. I agree on 20k not being very much given the circumstances. However this is the first time that a company had to pay for a thing like unhashed passwords at all. So I guess it's a step in the right direction.
