Full breach record for Polycystic Kidney Disease Foundation →

The Polycystic Kidney Disease Foundation (PKDF) notified constituents of a data breach involving its CRM provider, Blackbaud. A ransomware attack on Blackbaud's service provider in May 2020 resulted in the exfiltration of a subset of PKDF data, including names, contact details, philanthropic interests, and transplant status. PKDF did not store SSNs or financial data. Blackbaud paid the ransom and assured data destruction. PKDF is notifying affected individuals and monitoring for misuse.
