Hackers take personal data in Kickstarter breach

Hackers have recently infiltrated Kickstarter to take personal information from users.  Kickstarter CEO Yancey Strickler said in a blog post the breach did not give hackers access to credit card information. But it gave them access to usernames, email addresses, phone numbers, mailing addresses, and encrypted passwords. The company urges all users to change their passwords for their accounts and for any other site that uses the same password. The company did not reveal the number of customers affected by the breach.

Nokia aims to close Microsoft acquisition deal by end of Q1

Nokia wants to assure the public that the company plans to close Microsoft’s purchase of the Finnish brand by the end of March. A new press release from Nokia wanted to emphasize that an ongoing tax dispute in India over one factory in the country will not affect the deal.
