The Smith Family charity has informed 80,000 donors their personal information has been accessed after a cyber attack.
The hacker unsuccessfully attempted to steal money from the charity, which supports disadvantaged children.
Information such as names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, donation records and in some circumstances the first and last four digits of credit or debit cards may have been accessed.
In a statement The Smith Family said the data accessed would not be enough to make fraudulent purchases.
“No middle digits, expiry date or CVV numbers were accessed as The Smith Family does not store that information in its systems,” the charity said.
Customers have been warned to be on high alert for potential scams, although there is no evidence any personal information has been misused yet.
