Urban Institute Hacked: Up To 700,000 Nonprofits Affected After Tax System Breach

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 institute didn’t reveal who it believes was behind the attack or how hackers got in. Boris wrote that the institute had retained “a leading cybersecurity firm” to help strengthen security, but didn’t reveal which firm it hired.
