Kickstarter Hacked

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.  [More]

I've on occasion supported some crowd-funded projects like the documentary "Assaulted" that used Kickstarter to raise funds.  Anyone who heeded the call and supported such projects needs to read the entire alert and change your password.

I did.
As I've said in the past, I never ask anything of another I am not already doing myself.

I really hope no one uses this as an excuse to not support future appeals -- that would make as much sense as refusing to go into a brick and mortar store because such places are robbed on occasion.
