Not only that. The hacker could only use the token to transfer money between you and KickStarter, not to another account. So unless they also had access to make withdrawals from KickStarter - they couldn't do anything useful other than annoy KickStarter with a bunch of erroneous charges.

Haha, I forgot to mention that.

Basically, the only important information Kickstarter gets from any card are the last 4 digits, whether it's Visa, Master Card, AMEX, etc., and the expiration date.
