Plaid security team

Why were people laid off from the security team ? Was the team bloated or just mismanaged ? Typically not a good sign with a fintech company that deals with peoples bank accounts is laying off folks on the security team.

Plaid settled a $58M lawsuit last year: https://fintech.global/2021/08/09/plaid-to-pay-58m-to-settle-a-class-action-lawsuit-centered-on-data-privacy/ Laying off members of the security team, or any group with a focus on privacy, was not the wisest choice.

Sounds like worse things are coming to Plaid. If they have another data breach, the fact they fired security team will only force the biggest settlement out of them. Plaid execs sound like rookies
