A massive cyber-attack has hit the UK charity sector, potentially affecting up to a thousand organizations—including Breast Cancer UK and the National Ballet—after Beacon CRM accidentally exposed an access key online, allowing hackers to steal entire databases. While payment details remain safe, millions of donors’ personal info, including names, contact details, donation history, and even birth dates, may now be at risk for targeted phishing scams. Authorities are investigating the breach, which occurred between July 27th and 31st, while Beacon urges all clients to assume compromise and warn their supporters, as external experts work to contain the fallout.
