The Smith Family says it has informed around 80,000 donors their personal details may have been accessed after it was targeted by a hacker who attempted to steal money.
The incident involved a Smith Family team member’s email account being temporarily accessed by an unauthorised third party. They were seeking to steal The Smith Family’s funds.
It said an investigation revealed a combination of names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses and donation records may have been accessed.
It said in some instances that included the first and last four digits of the credit or debit card used to donate.
“The Smith Family can confirm no middle digits, expiry date or CVV numbers were accessed as The Smith Family does not store that information in its systems,” the charity said
The Smith Family said it had engaged cyber security experts and further strengthened its systems
