I dont understand some of the cynicism in this thread. This is a bold move and I support. It is impossible to not have incidents like this and until theres a proper post mortem we wont really know how much of it can be attributed to carelessness. They could have just kept is hush hush but I appreciate that they came forward with it and also donated money to academia. The research will be open and everybody benefits.

Cynicism? The post they published is blaming the 3rd party and "legacy" bs. They are talking about "credit cards are safe," but 25 god damn percent of their merchants' data have been leaked. This is messed u, and they play it cool by saying "we donated money because the issue wasn't o big deal". I read that posts as a professional deflection.
