Kickstarter leaking data?

Just a FYI: I donated to the Prototypo project on May 9 through kickstarter.com. Immediately after that date two attempts to use my card number online in amounts totaling almost $900 occurred.

If you too donated it might be wise to check your card account.

    It’s probably not Kickstarter. Kickstarter payments are handled by Amazon payments. If Amazon payments was hacked it would be an international media event and everybody would know.

    Thanks for that info, James. I don't use that particular card that much so I will check its history and see if anything else might apply. Probably just coincidence that the very first time it has happened to me was right after the Kickstarter donation.
  • Everybody would know if Amazon is being transparent and forthcoming.
