George House Trust, a Manchester-based HIV charity, has warned users that their sensitive health data may have been stolen by hackers. The breach, which occurred at the end of July, exposed personal details including addresses, phone numbers, and case notes about users' engagement with the charity.
The incident stems from a cyberattack on Beacon, a tech company whose database system is used by 1.5K+ UK charities. George House Trust was notified on 3 August but waited three weeks before alerting users. So far, no stolen data appears to have been misused. Investigations are ongoing.
