Charity said donors’ personal information was exposed
Oxfam Australia has confirmed that it has suffered a data breach after a database containing supporters’ information was “unlawfully accessed”.
In a statement, the charity said that an external party gained access to the database on January 20, 2021.
Oxfam Australia said it became aware of the breach seven days later and engaged “industry-leading forensic IT experts” to conduct an investigation.
Supporter information
The database included information about supporters who may have signed a petition, taken part in a campaign, or made donations or purchases through shops, Oxfam Australia said.
This data includes names, addresses, dates of birth, emails, phone numbers, gender, and in some cases donation history.
