Crowdfunding site Kickstarter Inc. said some customer data have been accessed in a computer attack.
The company, which has set up an exchange in which people can contribute
often small amounts of money to fund projects such as the documentary
“Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry” or the Pebble smartwatch, said in a blog post
Saturday and emails to users that no credit-card data was compromised.

The data accessed included user names, encrypted passwords, email and
mailing addresses and phone numbers, Chief Executive Yancey Strickler
said in the post.
Unauthorized activity occurred on two accounts, the company said, adding
that it had contacted those users. It recommended that customers change
their passwords.
The attack is the latest in a string that has included a massive breach of payment-card data at Target Corp., as well as intrusions at other retailers
