Bletchley Park Trust hit in Blackbaud security breach
The home of hacking in wartime Britain, Bletchley Park, was one of the victims of a major ransomware attack that hit software provider Blackbaud. The firm held data about people who had donated to the trust that manages the Bletchley Park museum. Harvard University has also joined the growing list of victims, which have mostly been charities and universities. Bletchley Park Trust said it was confident any exposed data was now secure. The trust added that data exposed to the hackers might have included names, dates of birth, email addresses, donation history and details of event attendance – but not credit and debit card details or bank account information.
