A prominent Washington, D.C. think tank has been hacked, compromising email addresses, passwords and other information of hundreds of thousands of charitable organizations that use its system for filing taxes.
The Urban Institute released a statement Tuesday saying that its National Center for Charitable Statistics had been accessed by hackers, who breached usernames, passwords, IP addresses and other account data.
The Hill reports that up to 700,000 organizations that use the system could be affected, but there is no evidence that tax filings were compromised, and no Social Security or credit card numbers were in the system.
