Just got notified by this in a mail from Kickstarter. It was confirmed on the Kickstarter home page after logging in. They suggest to change one's Kickstarter password as well as the password on any other sites, if you used the same password...

Seems only two accounts were compromised:

If you read that carefully, it says that "there is no evidence of unauthorized activity of any kind on all but two Kickstarter user accounts." More accounts (all?) were compromised, but only two have displayed any signs that they are being exploited ... so far.
