Kickstarter Hacked
Kickstarter is a crowd funding website that many film makers and other individuals take advantage of to raise the funds they need, in order to produce their projects.
The Kickstarter Company released a statement that disclosed their company was hacked this week.
The hackers did not take any credit card information, but the hackers were able to retrieve user names, e-mail addresses, mailing addresses, phone numbers, and even passwords that were encrypted.
Based upon a blog posted on the Kickstarter site:
“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 create a new password for your Kickstarter account, and other accounts where you use this password.”
“No credit card data of any kind was accessed by hackers. there is no evidence of unauthorized activity of any kind on all but two Kickstarter user accounts.”
