According to a recent announcement, the crowdfunding site Kickstarter has been hacked. Kickstarter states that there was no credit card information stolen and that all unauthorized activity has been limited to only two accounts.

While the passwords are all salted and encrypted (either using SHA-1 or bcrypt), a weak password might still be hacked. Users are strongly advised to change their passwords on Kickstarter and any other site where they use the same passwords.

Further information can be found at the Kickstarter blog.

      Ok, we need some DOWNWARD mod testing. *Takes one for the team*

      9/11 was NOT an inside job, and I have proof!
