Kickstarter Breach

Hello, I just got this EMail today from the Kickstarter CEO


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.
No credit card data of any kind was accessed by hackers. There is no evidence of unauthorized activity of any kind on your account.
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.
As a precaution, we strongly recommend that you change the password of your Kickstarter account, and other accounts where you use this password.
To change your password, log in to your account at Kickstarter.com and look for the banner at the top of the page to create a new, secure password. We recommend you do the same on other sites where you use this password. For additional help with password security, we recommend tools like 1Password and LastPass.
We’re incredibly sorry that this happened. We set a very high bar for how we serve our community, and this incident is frustrating and upsetting. We have since improved our security procedures and systems in numerous ways, and we will continue to do so in the weeks and months to come. We are working closely with law enforcement, and we are doing everything in our power to prevent this from happening again.
Kickstarter is a vibrant community like no other, and we can’t thank you enough for being a part of it. Please let us know if you have any questions, comments, or concerns. You can reach us at accountsecurity@kickstarter.com.
Thank you,
Yancey Strickler
Kickstarter CEO

Just thought those whom are Founders and those who have donated to know this ASAP.

 

Jeez

 

Kind of worrying that they let this happen so easily, I guess it's time to rethink my 12345678 password.

 

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.

This makes me wonder, who will arrest the Law Enforcement Officials who hacked the system to find all that out?
Or am I wrong about that and they were just looking..... and then in our best interests?

Shhhh... They could be listening in on us now... hmmm ...
~Time Lord~

 

They are everywhere...and they have bananas!

Bump
Read this on cnet

 

I am a Founder and not only that, Ive donated to a couple other games on that Website; I thought those who have donated should know this right away so they can be known whats going on.

Alot of people still didnt know about that whole Target incident when I told my co-workers, people just don't stay informed when something goes wrong and expect nothing will happen till it does.

which is a shame

 

I also received the same email. I was a bit put off that Kickstarter was contacted by law enforcement Wednesday night, but the emails were sent out on Sunday.

 

I know, thought that was weird too when I noticed that the date was posted for yesterday; But I wanted people to know right away if they needed to change they're passwords

 

First my old mail, then my Sony account and now Kickstarter...

They should add more mines, vicious dogs, piranhas with deadly lasers and a field of acid lava to the surroundings of their websites for extra security...

Well I'll probably delete the account there once I get this game so yeah, not a big deal.

 

Maybe you should change it to qwertyu, it always work!
