Patreon confirms security team layoffs

Patreon has confirmed it has laid off five employees from its security team.
Emily Metcalfe, a former senior security engineer at Patreon, said in a LinkedIn post on Thursday: “So for better or worse, I and the rest of the Patreon Security Team are no longer with the company.” According to a tweet, Metcalfe joined the company in November 2021. Metcalfe could not be reached for comment.
In a brief statement to TechCrunch, Patreon’s U.S. policy head Ellen Satterwhite confirmed the five layoffs but declined to answer our questions, or say how many employees it had on the security team prior to the layoffs. Satterwhite did not dispute that the entire team had been laid off.
