National Lottery Community Fund experienced a data breach that has left more than six years of contact and bank details exposed to fraudulent behavior.
The data includes contact details (name, address, email, and landline and mobile numbers), date of birth, bank details (name of bank account, sort code, and account number), and the applicant organization’s address and website.
It said it did not include bank account PINs, passwords, or bank card details, because it did not collect that information.
Customers who think they might be impacted are advised to change their account passwords, watch out for phishing emails or fraudulent activity on their bank accounts, and think about running a credit check using their name and address to help spot any fraudulent applications being made in their name.
