Asalto informatico a Kickstarter

Vamos a empezar el día con algo que no tiene mucho que ver con el blog,pero es de interés por los mecenazgos de los que se hablan a menudo.Ayer se anuncio por un mail a los que tienen cuenta en Kickstarter de que las cuentas han sido hackeadas.Esto ocurrió el miércoles 12 pero no se comunico hasta ayer a la tarde con este comunicado,dia 15,enviado por mail:
"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. Upon learning this, we immediately closed the security breach and began strengthening security measures throughout the Kickstarter system.
No credit card data of any kind was accessed by hackers. There is no evidence of unauthorized activity of any kind on your account.
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.
As a precaution, we have reset your Facebook login credentials to secure your account. No further action is necessary on your part.
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 is a vibrant community like no other, and we can’t thank you enough for being a part of it. Please let us know if you have any questions, comments, or concerns. You can reach us at accountsecurity@kickstarter.com.

Thank you,
Yancey Strickler
Kickstarter CEO"

Dicen que  no fueron robados datos de tarjetas de crédito.El caso es que el aviso llega con  tres días de retraso y hay ciertas incongruencias entre el aviso y ciertas noticias que dicen que en realidad Kickstarter aviso a la policía y no al revés(Un ejemplo),por lo que no se sabe realmente hasta donde ha llegado el hackeo.La cosa tiene algo de miga,por lo que se ve.
En fin,quedados estáis y si habéis hecho pagos a Kickstarter y notáis cosas raras en la cuenta corriente,ni lo dudéis.Y cambiad contraseñas,por supuestas.
