<\/p>\nAs you wake up to your weekend, you might notice an email in your inbox from Kickstarter. It is not good news. Some hackers had breached the security of Kickstarter and gained unauthorized access to some of their customers’ data.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Thankfully, the credit cards information were not stolen, according to them. If you are one of the Kickstarter’s customer, I suggest you go there and change your password.<\/p>\n
Some information of the hack.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday night, law enforcement officials contacted Kickstarter and alerted us that hackers had sought and gained unauthorized access to some of our customers’ data. Upon learning this, we immediately closed the security breach and began strengthening security measures throughout the Kickstarter system.<\/p>\n
No<\/span> credit card data of any kind was accessed by hackers. There is no<\/span> evidence of unauthorized activity of any kind on your account.<\/b><\/p>\n
While no credit card data was accessed, some information about our customers was. Accessed information included usernames, email addresses, mailing addresses, phone numbers, and encrypted passwords. Actual passwords were not revealed, however it is possible for a malicious person with enough computing power to guess and crack an encrypted password, particularly a weak or obvious one.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
