新华网2月17日电 据美国科技博客Gizmodo报道,美国知名众筹网站Kickstarter CEO扬西·斯楚克勒(Yancey Strickler)日前透露Kickstarter网站遭到了黑客攻击。他表示,黑客并未获取网站全部用户的信用卡信息,但攻击导致用户个人信息遭泄露。
据报道,Kickstarter于12日首次发现网站遭黑客攻击。在发现遭受攻击后,Kickstarter的技术团队立即封住了被黑客利用的漏洞,仅有两个银行账户被监控到有未授权的活动,其余账户账户全部安全。然而,Kickstarter网站用户的其他个人信息,如用户名、email地址、邮寄地址以及电话号码等全部被泄露。尽管Kickstarter对网站密码进行了加密,但该网站表示,技术精良的黑客有能力找到解密的方法。
目前,Kickstarter已在网站上声明称,Kickstarter仅保存用户信用卡卡号的最后四位数字,因此信用卡信息没有被泄露。此外,如果用户通过Facebook登陆Kickstarter,那么账户信息也将安全,因为Kickstarter已经重置了所有Facebook登陆凭据。

Uh oh, Kickstarter's CEO Yancey Strickler says that the company has been hacked. No credit card info was stolen (whew!), but the company says users' personal info has been compromised. Better go change your password.
A blog post released today says Kickstarter was first made aware of the hack on Wednesday, and that upon learning of the breach the tech team immediately closed the security vulnerability that allowed it. And while credit card info seems to be safe (Kickstarter says only two user accounts showed evidence of unauthorized activity), usernames, email addresses, mailing addresses, and phone numbers were all exposed in the hack. And while Kickstarter passwords are encrypted, the company notes that skillful hackers may have the means to crack them.
Update: Kickstarter has added an FAQ section to the blog post, stating the site only stores the last four digits and expiration date of credit cards, and this info was not compromised. Also, if you logged in to Kickstarter through Facebook, you should be okay—the company reset all Facebook login credentials.
