Charities for abuse victims may face sanctions over data breach

Maeve Lewis, chief executive of One in Four, said almost 1,000 of its clients had been hacked.

A number of charities that saw the personal data they held on abuse victims stolen in a ransomware attack could face sanction from the data regulator.

The only Irish charity involved to be publicly named thus far — child abuse support organisation One In Four — was first informed of the breach on April 5.
