From the "change your password" department:

Crowd-funding site Kickstarter has announced that an attacker has made off with 
user data.
In this announcement [1], the company's Yancey Strickler says it was alerted by 
law enforcement on Wednesday night, February 11, that customer data had been obtained 
by attackers.
According to Reuters [2], Kickstarter retains the last four digits of non-US credit 
cards, but this wasn't accessed.
