Kickstarter, the website that helps people like Zach Braff crowdfund private artistic and commercial projects, said that it was hacked and some user information compromised.  In a blog post on Saturday, the company said it learned about the breach on Wednesday, and said that usernames, email addresses, mailing addresses, phone numbers and encrypted passwords may have been exposed. Kickstarter recommended users change their passwords for safety. There is no evidence of unauthorized activity of any kind on all but two Kickstarter user accounts.
