CEO Doug Taylor said in a statement the hack was an attempt to steal money from the charity, but that the attempt was "unsuccessful".The Smith Family has been hit with a cyberattack.
"We then commenced an investigation of the incident and engaged specialist cyber security experts to understand what happened."From our investigation, we identified that during the attempt to steal our funds, personal information about some individuals may have been accessed. "The personal information of supporters that may have been accessed includes a mixture of names; combination of phone number, address and/or email address; information about whether a donation payment was processed successfully or declined and the donation amount; and in some instances, first and last four digits of the credit or debit card used to donate."
The Smith Family confirmed no middle card digits, expiry dates or CVV numbers were accessed, as the charity doesn't store that information in its systems. Personal information such as passport details or driver's licences is also not at risk, as donors aren't required to offer them.
