Thousands of donors to Australian charities, including Cancer Council and Canteen, have data leaked to dark web
The Cancer Council, Canteen and Fred Hollows Foundation have confirmed donor information has been published on the dark web after a telemarketer was hacked.
Key points:
-
Pareto Phone collected donations from charity supporters
-
Cancer Council, Canteen and The Fred Hollows Foundation have confirmed donor data was leaked
-
The telemarketer said forensic specialists are "urgently" analysing the data
Something has to be done to enforce adequate standards for storage of private information AND penalties for breaches.
Penalties are the ONLY incentive to make businesses take it seriously.
Yeah agreed, there has been way too many breaches now from big companies in Australia.
Why target those who are trying to do some good, absolutely disgusting. But the telemarketer needs to either stop collecting data or take security seriously
