Subject: Important Kickstarter Security Notice

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 strongly recommend that you change the password of your Kickstarter account, and other accounts where you use this password. To change your password, log in to your account at Kickstarter.com and look for the banner at the top of the page to create a new, secure password. We recommend you do the same on other sites where you use this password. For additional help with password security, we recommend tools like 1Password and LastPass. 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

Stop Using The 25 Most Common Passwords of 2013 but Still Remember your Password.

Stop Using The 25 most common passwords of 2013.

Many website and account logins give you 3 chances to try to remember your password without locking you out or making you wait for a long period of time before trying again. Hackers use automated scripts that will actually use 25 most common passwords of 2013 to attempt to get into your account. They also use every dictionary word including some programmed common letter replacements. If you are under a random attack the guessing efforts will start with the most common passwords as well as the simplest words and word combinations.   Here are a few ideas for making up a simple and more secure password you can remember but still keep hackers out.

 10 Tips for Making a Secure Password You Can Remember

1. Combine 2 or 3 of your favorite things or easily remembered numbers. But keep it as obscure as possible.  For example your Grandmothers name, the first 3 for of your social, last five of your home phone number.   
2. Use a different language in your password.  A word that you know in French, German, Spanish, etc.
3. Replace letters with numbers.   0 for O, 1 for L, 5 for S, etc.
4. Use your shift key and to add ‘special characters’ and capitalize letters.  Shift the number 1 and add an !.
5. Spell out numbers and mix with numerals.  For example ‘1twothree4five6’.
6. Use a period / dot or underscore to break up your password.
7. Spell a word or a number you can easily remember backwards.  'sdrawkcab’.  
8. Use your keyboard in a more creative way than qwerty.  Add shift to capitalize and jump rows more randomly.    
9. Use a short sentence using a mix of short words like &, 4, #.    ‘1_for_the_$”
10. Combine 2 or more of these suggestions.   For example a name with numbers and special characters or a backwards word with special characters and a period. 

For added security don't use the same password for every website and adjust your usernames for different websites.

If you need to write down your passwords use a password safe app Splash ID. It's been around since the Palm Pilot Days and has now been updated to work with almost every device and smart phone.  http://www.splashdata.com/splashid/
