Maybe charities shouldn't be giving out our details to tele-marketers.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


The Cancer Council, Canteen and Fred Hollows Foundation have confirmed donor information has been published on the dark web.

"Under the Australian Privacy Principles, there is a requirement for personal information data to be destroyed or de-identified once it is no longer needed for the purpose for which it was collected.

"We're deeply upset that our supporters have been impacted by a data breach at Pareto Phone … we understand that this will cause major concern for kind-hearted people who donate."

"We understand that this may be a concerning situation for anyone who has generously donated to Cancer Council, and we unreservedly apologise for any distress caused," a statement read.

"We have not at this stage identified any identity documents such as tax file numbers, driver licenses and passports about any donor," Mr Smedley said.

There is a risk more data could be published, since there had been four months between the attack and the leak, Paul Haskell-Dowland, a professor of Cybersecurity Practice at Edith Cowan University, said.
