Yesterday morning we first announced the violation of the known crowdfunding website Kickstarter. As new information comes to light, we have decided to continue working on the matter. As everything shows, company δεν είχε καταλάβει τίποτα για την παραβίαση αλλά ειδοποιήθηκε από τις Αρχές.
Fortunately, hackers have been unable to access credit card numbers. However, they managed to get user names, email addresses, physical addresses, phone numbers, and encrypted passwords.
The specialist in issues security Graham Cluley of ESET emphasizes that Kickstarter, χρειάστηκε τέσσερις ημέρες για να ενημερώσει τους χρήστες του. Η εταιρεία γνώριζε για την παραβίαση από την Τετάρτη, αλλά ειδοποίησε τον πελάτη της το Σάββατο το βράδυ.
On the one hand, it is not unusual as it may have taken a few days to ascertain and evaluate the full extent of the incident.
On the other hand, however, his public relations team Kickstarter could deliberately wait until the weekend, knowing that many journalists technologyς απουσιάζουν κατά το space this.
What worries most is that Kickstarter, gave four days' time to hackers to take advantage of the data they obtained from hacking.
"During these four days - if you had the misfortune to use the same password you used in Kickstarter, The hackers they could access your other online accounts, ”says Cluley.
"In addition, the Kickstarter gave them time to start spamming with malicious links or phishing attacks if they knew email addresses and other personal information. ”
