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!

Two accounts? I wonder who which ones. It's a shallow world if people are trying to steal from a fundraiser.
