Over 1,000 Charities Hit by Beacon CRM Data Breach

A data breach affecting over 1,000 charities using Beacon CRM stemmed from an exposed AWS access key found in publicly available JavaScript build artifacts. The compromised credentials allowed unauthorized access to sensitive data held by the nonprofit organizations.

Why it matters: Nonprofit organizations and their donors are exposed; practitioners managing Beacon CRM or similar SaaS platforms should audit build artifact storage, rotate credentials immediately, and review access logs for suspicious activity.
