Red Cross Blood Services

The data breach that exposed a backup database with donor personal information was confirmed by the Australian Red Cross Blood Service.

Given the nature of the victim, the Australian Red Cross Blood Service, security experts rank this data leak as one of the worst.

A backup database that contained the personal information of 550,000 people was unintentionally made public by one of its third-party service providers.

A total of 1.3 million records—including phone numbers, physical and email addresses, gender, blood type, donation type, donation dates, and eligibility inquiries—are contained in the 1.74 gigabyte database.
