Patreon got hacked
Added 2015-10-04 15:01:31 +0000 UTCHey everybody, you probably already heard about this but Patreon has been hacked. Jack Conte, Patreon’s founder wrote about what happened.
To quote the part that is relevant for you:
„No specific action is required of our users, but as a precaution I recommend that all users update their passwords on Patreon.“
It seems there has been no bank/credit card data breach (Patreon does not store this information), so at least something!
Here is the Article about the hack: https://www.patreon.com/posts/3457485
And on this site you can find out if your account was compromised: http://haveibeenpwned.com

2015-10-04 22:01:27 +0000 UTCi doubt thats wat theyre after while hacking a website^^ I would say they wanted credit credentials and passwords. Thankfully patreon knows how to hash and encrypt x3
