An early stage company doesn’t have much to pay you with, but they’re thankful for the help.
From my perspective, protecting the data of 10k users was just as important as— or more important than— protecting the data of 1.5m users.
I feel bad when people assume negative intent. I don’t think anyone at this company wanted to violate the privacy of their users— they just didn’t get the message through the right channels.

- aflag 7y agoOne line of reasoning is that the everyone will know about companies leaking data of millions, so they can take steps to mitigate, whereas probably no one will know about a leak like this and just live unaware

- larkinrichards 7y agoIMO, 1) early users feel the most connected with your technology and are the most hurt when you screw them over. At that stage, it can sink your company. 2) fixing this when you have 10k users prevents you from leaking the data of the next 1.49m users.
