I get that point, but I run a platform powered by Stripe Connect. Redundancy at that level would require the customers who sell their products through my platform to set up an additional account, go through additional KYC, etc - which is unrealistic. Alternatively, I could register my business as a PayFac, which costs a ton of money and depending on your network, also faces outages from time to time.

Sometimes things truly are out of your hands.

what's to exploit? If they're logging in, they have the credentials already.

I get that someone could maybe somehow avoid updating the stripe info, but that will fail the next time a charge goes through, so it's not as if there's a lot of fallout from it. Without even questioning why someone would go through the trouble in the first place.
