ChildFund Australia has never collected personal identification data such as passport numbers and drivers’ licenses from its supporters and donors. In addition, we are not aware of any Supporter financial information being involved in the incident.
There has also been no impact to ChildFund Australia’s systems.
Upon being notified of the breach on 10 August 2023, our team has worked closely with Pareto Phone as well as engaged our own external cyber security advisors to conduct a thorough and detailed investigation to determine what data has been impacted.
This has meant determining the type of information accessed as well as the risk implications for our donors and supporters.
