Childbirth Charity Hack Leaks 15,000 Expectant Parents Data

An anonymous reader writes: A data breach has been uncovered at the UK's National Childbirth Trust, with over 15,000 new and expectant parents' details compromised. The charity "has apologized to its users and has informed them that their email addresses, usernames and an encrypted version of their passwords had been exposed in the data leak," according to The Stack. "It has assured members that no sensitive or financial information was accessed. The hack, which targeted the NCT's registration database, has since been reported to the police and the UK's data watchdog, the Information Commissioner's Office."
