In communication with our website manager, we have identified that an unauthorized third party accessed our website, specifically our donation form, from April 5, 2024, through August 5, 2024. The only visitors that may have been impacted are those who attempted to donate through the website using a debit or credit card. There is no way to know which visitors may have been impacted so it is with an abundance of caution that we inform you of this potential data breach.
During the data breach timeframe provided, we have had no communication with any donors informing us of any stolen information. Individuals who successfully completed a donation with CCFB were not affected by this data breach.
If you attempted to donate online at www.chestercountyfoodbank.org during the breached timeframe, the safest measure we can recommend is having your bank issue you a new credit or debit card. You may also check your financial institution statements and credit report to ensure your personal information is secure.
We are committed to ensuring your safety and privacy. We deeply regret any inconvenience this situation may cause and appreciate your understanding and continued support. We are working with our website third party to institute advanced security features to reduce the likelihood of a breach like this happening again.
For any questions, you may call the Chester County Development office at 610-873-6000 x104.
