I'm pretty active on Kickstarter, backing multiple projects.
What's really worrying is that the Kickstarter folk didn't detect the breach themselves. It was law enforcement (I'm assuming FBI) who contacted them about it.
On the security notice, Kickstarter writes they "set a very high bar" on how they serve their community. What a load of crock!. If they had a high bar this would never have happened. I wish they wouldn't rub salt in the wound by publishing such blatant rubbish.
I'm extremely disappointed with Kickstarter right now.
- couchdive 13y agoExactly. You are in horrible shape if it's the police alerting you to this. My policy is "You lose my info, you lose my business". I deleted my account.
- __pThrow 13y agoI was about to change my password, when I saw "delete my account" was on the same page. On the one hand, that's a gutsy and convenient UI. However, I immediately chose to delete my account.

- roasty 13y agoPretty normal for the police to alert a company before they find out, unfortunately.
- tptacek 13y agoYou should prepare to be extremely disappointed by almost everyone you do business with online. At least Kickstarter was alerted by law enforcement and not Pastebin.
