450 FSFE supporters affected: Payment provider Nexi cancelled us
Freak_NL: The FSFE justly drew the line at providing private information of supporters. How many other customers of Nexi simply handed over such data 'because audit'?
butokai: As an Italian living in another EU country, I always thought that the amount of (broken) bureaucracy of Italy was not particularly worse. However this story comes after a couple more I heard this week, in a line of absurd practice possibly due to absurd regulations.
rasjani: So this was not only about FSFE and payments for them but a general audit of their (Nexi's) customers ?
TavsiE9s: That’s how I read the linked post as well, yes.
grigio: Maybe now more F/OSS supporters will understand the need of Bitcoin/Monero
eequah9L: > Over the past few months, our former payment provider Nexi S.p.A. (“Nexi”) requested access to private data, which we understood to be specifically the usernames and passwords of our supporters.I must be missing something, but why is there an expectation that clear text passwords would even be known?
littlecranky67: Everytime people say bitcoin has no use case, I'd like to point them to cases like this.
jasonvorhe: Not unless they start questioning the Club of Rome induced climate scam.
sam_lowry_: Reminds me of the famous "Our security auditor is an idiot. How do I give him the information he wants? [1][1] https://serverfault.com/questions/293217/our-security-audito...
janpio: So what did Nexi really want, and how did it get mangled so badly that it came out as "specifically the usernames and passwords of our supporters"?
