They may be part of it, but as a publicly traded company, there's got to be a at least a few people there with a fancy pedigree (not that that actually means they are good at their job or care). But if such a test existed, they presumably would have passed it.

They also have an ISO 27001 certificate (they try to claim a bunch of AWSs certs by proxy on their security page, which is ironic as they say AWS stores most of their data while apparently all uploads are on this).

A while ago I had a customer come to me who had a simple Shopify site and fell for a phishing type of attack where someone simply had an email like "shopify_security at gmail" and kept telling her she needed to apply all kinds of changes. They laundered the payments through Fiverr.

Then they would install WordPress plugins to make the site worse and claim even more "work" was needed.

I documented the entire thing, including my own credentials, and sent it off to Fiverr. Fiverr's response was everything was fine and there was nothing they could do about it, even though it was obvious fraud.

Google never did anything about it either, nor did Shopify.

Given how they handled such a minor situation like that... I guess it shouldn't be surprising they're just asleep at the switch for a major one like this.
