Macmillan Jersey Alerts Supporters After Cybersecurity Incident Involving CRM Provider Macmillan Jersey, a local cancer charity, has notified supporters, donors, and volunteers of a potential data exposure following a cybersecurity incident involving its customer relationship management (CRM) system. The breach was discovered on [date not specified] after software provider Beacon CRM reported unauthorized access to backup copies of customer databases. While the investigation remains ongoing, Beacon has advised its clients including Macmillan Jersey to assume that data stored in the affected CRM may have been compromised. The charity confirmed that no evidence of misuse has been found to date and emphasized that payment card details were not exposed, as donations are processed securely through JustGiving. Additionally, health records, counselling notes, and clinical data were unaffected, as these are stored separately. The compromised database primarily contained contact details, communication preferences, and records of supporters, donors, volunteers, and event participants. Macmillan Jersey has activated its data protection protocols and notified the Jersey Office of the Information Commissioner, fulfilling its legal obligations. Beacon has since engaged independent cybersecurity specialists and secured its systems, though investigations continue. In a statement, Senior Operations Lead Kevin Alway apologized for the concern caused, reiterating the charity’s commitment to safeguarding personal data. While no immediate action is required from affected individuals, Macmillan Jersey advised caution against suspicious emails or unsolicited requests for passwords or financial information. The charity will provide further updates if the investigation uncovers heightened risks. For inquiries, supporters can contact [email protected] or call 01534 498189.
