No credit card data of any kind was accessed by hackers. There is no evidence of unauthorized activity of any kind on all but two Kickstarter user accounts.While no credit card data was accessed, some information about their customers which included usernames, email addresses, mailing addresses, phone numbers, and encrypted passwords was stolen. In order to prevent upcoming hacks, the Kickstarter recommends it’s users to change their passwords as soon as possible with some strong passwords, so the hackers won’t be able to guess the real password, because them are encrypted. Right now, if the hackers who accessed the users data have enough computer power, they can crack the encrypted password.
As a precaution, we strongly recommend that you create a new password for your Kickstarter account, and other accounts where you use this password.Some security measures taken by the Kickstarter Security staff:
The NTP method first began to appear late last year. To bring down a server such as one running “League of Legends,” the attackers trick NTP servers into thinking they’ve been queried by the “League of Legends” server.
The NTP servers, thinking they’re responding to a legitimate query, message the “League of Legends” server, overloading it with as many as 100 gigabits per second (Gbps). That’s large even for a DDoS attack.
In this way, one small request to an NTP server can generate an enormous response capable of taking down even high-capacity websites.
“Such cyber attack clearly violate German law,” commented Christian Steffen, general manager of Stellar operator, which Der Spiegel presented a document containing passwords belonging GCHQ company clients name a certain number of employees.Alerted by the journal, Deutsche Telekom and regional operator Netcologne have not identified any suspect device and any data leakage. But according to the head of Deutsche Telekom Thomas Tschersich security, “foreign intelligence services access to our network is totally unacceptable.” “Examine any indication of a possible manipulation. Additionally, we alerted the authorities on this point,” said Tschersich quoted weekly.
Treasure Map allows for the creation of an “interactive map of the global Internet” in “near real-time,” the document notes. Employees of the so-called “FiveEyes” intelligence agencies from Great Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, which cooperate closely with the American agency NSA, can install and use the program on their own computers. One can imagine it as a kind of Google Earth for global data traffic, a bird’s eye view of the planet’s digital arteries.You can read more details regarding the “Treasure Map” program here.

“ The security of our users information is a top priority for us ” said an employee of Google to TNW. “We have no evidence that our systems have been compromised, but whenever we become aware that accounts may have been, we take steps to help those users secure their accounts.”Most of users who appear on the list are Russians, but there are some users from Spain, USA and UK.
It’s important to note that in this case and in others, the leaked usernames and passwords were not the result of a breach of Google systems”
We found that less than 2% of the username and password combinations might have worked, and our automated anti-hijacking systems would have blocked many of those login attempts. We’ve protected the affected accounts and have required those users to reset their passwords.
“The impact is serious and is getting worse,” said he. “The result of the simplest scenario is that we get to break the Internet,” he warned. Schmidt made the statement during a debate on the consequences of spying on Internet technology sector intrerpinse by American intelligence services (NSA), an event organized by the chair of the Senate Finance Ron Wyden. Participants revealed the emergence of disguised trade barriers, some countries calling for the groups now active in the field of Internet and data services to host their servers rather local and not in the United States.“The idea of having to install data centers and regional data-themselves fundamentally opposes the way the Internet is structured,” said Colin Stretch, Legal affairs on Facebook. His counterpart from online storage service Dropbox Ramsey Homsany revealed, in turn, the difficulties this can create startups that are based on Silicon Valley fame. “Imagine what would have happened if (Google founders) Larry (Page) and Sergey (Brin), in their garage, they had the second thing on the list to build a data center in Germany,” commented himself.
“Google’s business model is the spy. It makes more than 80 percent of its money by collecting information about people, pooling it together, storing it, indexing it, building profiles of people to predict their interests and behavior, and then selling those profiles principally to advertisers, but also others,” Assange told BBC.However, he also admitted that it is not doing anything that is illegal.
“They are formally listed as part of the defense industrial base since 2009. They have been engaged with the Prism system, where nearly all information collected by Google is available to the NSA,” he said.Additionally, at the institutional level, “Google is deeply involved in US foreign policy.”
“The 7.3 million pounds (US$12 million) of police surveillance admitted outside this embassy. It is a difficult situation. It is not a situation that is easy for [a] national security reporter. You can’t read sources. It is difficult to meet some of my staff because of that surveillance.”However, he pointed the brighter side of his restricted movements as well.
“There are no subpoenas, there are no door knocks in the night, unlike [for] other national security reporters. So in some ways there are benefits to the situation,” he noted.He has been optimistic about the attitude shift that has taken place recently. Britain amended its extradition laws to ban extradition without charges.
“Fellow Anon and Citizens of the world, We are proud to re-announce #OPSafeWinter. In this age of consumerism there is very little love or care about each other, and we’re here to change that. No longer shall we stand by and watch isolation and fear be spread by the establishment, which is killing and destroying community and lives. We all have a voice, so make yours heard, you are the power, your choice, your life, you are the motivation for justice.”Our mission: to highlight the homeless situation in areas throughout world. Build up a resource network for food supply, blankets, clothes socks etc. that can be donated. Amenities for warm showers etc.
“Homelessness is growing on Earth, by leaps and bounds, so continuing the Op throughout the year was an effective way to combat homelessness.”The idea, which had its origin on the irc in a chat, was well received by many round the globe and within two weeks it had gone global, said one of the team member.
“Any campaign asking for monetary donations will be seriously vetted before a hint of endorsement is shown.”When asked about media coverage, the team replied that though they did not have mainstream media coverage, they did receive amazing radio coverage and limelight through Elite daily and some UK-based homeless publications.
“Success would be people recognizing that homeless people are just that…PEOPLE. They deserve compassion and care, just like anyone else. Some actual full-blown shelters have been set up as a result of the Op, [whereas] some see success as a Feed The Homeless Day or a blanket give away,” said the Anonymous team member.The operation was endorsed by people from 12 countries around the globe [officially and many on ad-hoc basis] last year with the UK, the US and Brazil as being the most active countries. The operation not only sought to help homeless people but also raise awareness about homelessness.
