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!

I hope everyone's accounts are secure now, it would be a shame if someone lost a lot.

I wonder who's accounts got hacked and if they had a big kickstarter fund going.

The_Vampire_Diaries Why so people have to hack stuff, like what's the point. Just get your stuff honestly.


COMMON SENSE. Hacker likes to gain stolen money and information. Kickstarter is where you funded the people's project/game.

Miss I don't see what someone could get out of hacking Kickstarter, lol.


They could possibly get credit card information if they are smart enough. Kikstarter is a site where you pledge with "Money"...
