Kickstarter has suffered a data breach, and hackers have stolen personal information.  If you have a kickstarter account, go change your password now.  http://www.zdnet.com/kickstarter-hacked-change-your-password-now-7000026388/

Quoted Text
While no credit card data was accessed, some information about our customers was. Accessed information included usernames, email addresses, mailing addresses, phone numbers, and encrypted passwords. 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.


Be also careful to click any phishing scams that come from this data (like emails about kickstarter projects you sponsored).  Always log directly into the site.  Do NOT click email links.
