We’ve been using Brave since late last year. We have definitely set the Auto-Contribute option to off. However, yesterday, 20 BAT was sent to the Brave team. After some googling, it looks like this is a known bug.
I have read other topics and have screenshots of all the required information, which I am happy to provide through PM.
I too have this problem. Random sending of BAT to Brave Publishers, and it’s through my Uphold account. How can Brave have access to my assets on Uphold without my permission? This is a huge security problem—if they have access to my BAT, what else do they have access to? This needs to be solved ASAP, or significantly more communication is necessary as to why things like this happen.
