AT least eight Island charities have confirmed that they may be affected by a potential cyber security incident. Information Commissioner Paul Vane said that a total of eight organisations had contacted his office by 12.30pm yesterday. “Beacon CRM is a UK-based provider and therefore would fall under the UK Information Commissioner’s regulatory remit.” The JSPCA said it was “genuinely sorry this has happened” and that is “takes the protection of your personal information extremely seriously”. Jersey Trees for Life’s said it was too soon to confirm whether its data had been compromised, but that “we are taking a precautionary approach and informing you of this potential personal data breach”.
