Hackers Steal Convio Data on Nonprofits

Attackers stole passwords and email addresses from 92 nonprofits by breaking into systems at Convio. This break-in occurred sometime between October 23 and November 1, and affects GetActive clients (Convio acquired GetActive in February.)

According to Convio, no credit card or other personal data was stolen. Convio is recommending that its clients notify any constituents with user-created passwords that might have been compromised. The company is also warning GetActive users to be alert for potential phishing emails that appear to be from nonprofits.

To learn more, see this The Nonprofit Times' article about the break-in; Convio has also posted information for affected individuals on its Web site.
