Impactedit
A number of organisations were affected, including the Dublin-based charity One in Four, which supports adult survivors of child sexual abuse. Maeve Lewis, CEO of One in Four, told RTÉ News that personal data, including phone numbers and email addresses had been stolen. However, letters and reports to child protection services were not taken. About 1000 people who had been engaged with One in Four might be affected. One in Four contacted Evide to ask them to take legal action against the attackers as One in Four was not directly attacked.[1][2][3][4][5]
Orchardville, an organisation based in Northern Ireland, said that it was not sure if any of its data was affected.[3][4]
