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.

This isn't completely accurate... they store the last 4 digits of cards used to fund non-US projects, so they probably have data for a large number of US cards. Kickstarter still maintains that this data wasn't accessed. Hmm... I think I remember Target saying something similar.
