We previously wrote to you in April to notify you of a potential data breach relating to the Neighbourhood Watch scheme management tools. With the support of external IT security specialists, further investigations into the incident have continued in the weeks since and we are now in a position to provide you with an update as promised.
What is the scope of the breach?
In an age where digital technology permeates every aspect of our lives, the
concept of trauma has expanded beyond physical events to encompass virtual
experiences as well. From cyberbullying and online harassment, to exposure to
violent or disturbing content, individuals are facing a myriad of challenges in the
digital realm that can profoundly impact their mental health.
Being hit by a cyberattack, whether it's a phishing scam, ransomware threat or a
computer virus can be a traumatic event, affecting not just your security, but also
mental health and wellbeing.
