More than 20 universities and charities in the UK, US, and Canada had confirmed they are victims of a cyber-attack that compromised a software supplier. Dozens more charities and educational organizations had been affected and Human Rights Watch is among them. Compromised information included personal details that were limited to those of former students, who had been asked to financially support the establishments from which they had graduated. It also extended to staff, existing students, and other supporters. Compromised data also included the stolen data including phone numbers, donation history and events attended.
