Kickstarter accounts hacked

4.2
Accounts at Kickstarter seemed to have been hacked sometime Wednesday night, they claim no credit card data was accessed. They believe only two accounts had unauthorized activity but it is impossible to tell at this time.

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 CEO Yancey Strickler


We here at TheTechGame recommend if you use your Kickstarter password elsewhere to go and change your passwords!

Meds Kickstarter dont seem worthy of hacking lol


Well, imagine coming across a new thing that has at least 100K in it. Like, now you get a few hundred thousand dollars for just hacking a site and not having to really work except to get past the security.

Of course, there is the chance of being caught and getting into a lot of trouble with the law like their trying to do now. But if you covered your tracks well enough, you'd have that money in banks in different accounts and not get caught.

Cincinnati That's a shame. Everything seems to be getting hacked nowadays. Companies/Websites need to step up their security systems.


Security companies need to step it up. Not the sites

Skeletons why did they let this happen, they need better security


I agree with you, I think PS3 need to do the same.


ps3 network is free , what do you expect? they're not going to have the best.


That's no excuse, if they hold bank details, they need a high security level, networks like steam and paypal are free but they manage to keep everything hidden from hackers
You're right but things like Paypal aren't free. They may not have memberships but they do have fees...


Yeah, you're right TomorrowLand, paypal does have a few fees you have to pay. Like when you sell something, and someone buys it through paypal. Paypal gets a small amount of the money you earned.

DJSLobbies Hackers once again that need to get a life.


Not that I'm siding with them, but if you think about it, if the Hackers are successful and don't get caught, they are probably gonna be making more than you.
