Charities & Not for Profit Newsletter - June 2019.

On 2 May 2019 the Charity Commission issued information and advice to charity trustees about cyber crime and how to report it. Cyber crime usually involves attacks in, or through, computer systems and networks, and often includes the theft of data or disruption of systems to enable further crime.

Dependent on the nature of these crimes, trustees, staff, volunteers and beneficiaries of charities may be adversely affected. Negative publicity could also have an impact on public trust and confidence of donors.
