IT House news on January 26, Microsoft GitHub official blog recently issued a brief statement, announcing that from February 23, 2023, the GitHub Sponsors project reward function will no longer support PayPal payment methods.
Patrons will no longer be able to tip developers or organizations through PayPal. GitHub recommends that patrons update their payment methods and use credit or debit cards. GitHub officials did not give any further explanation for this.
In addition, users who tip developers with PayPal will receive reminder emails.
Both Microsoft GitHub and PayPal did not respond to this incident. Hacker News netizens broke the news that the breakdown of cooperation may be due to security issues, or the negotiation between the two companies broke down. For example, PayPal’s commission fee may be too high. Or “could be PayPal virtual currency money laundering issue”.
IT House previously reported that PayPal disclosed on January 18, 2023 that the company was attacked by a network in December 2022, leaking 35,000 user personal information.
