The personal data of more than half a million blood donors in Australia have been published in a massive security breach.
The Executive Director of the Red Cross Service in Australia, Shelly Park, dijo en una entrevista que la información había sido revelada por una “persona no autorizada”.
the file was stored insecurely on a web server
The file, which was a backup of the forms issued by donors to the Red Cross website in the last 6 years, has been removed and a forensic analysis is being carried out to clarify the facts.
“El archivo contenía nombres, Addresses, así como información sanitaria de los donantes”, comment S. Park.
On the other hand, donors have been warned to warn them of possible cases of scam through phone or e-mail.
