Thousands of people's personal information may have been compromised after Family Planning NSW's online databases were hacked. In an email to clients, the organisation - which provides advice on contraception, pregnancy and sexual health - said its website was hit by a cyber attack on Anzac Day. It's believed the databases contained information of clients who had contacted Family Planning NSW to make an appointment, or leave feedback through its website, in the past two-and-a-half years. The organisation said the situation has been "contained", but its website will remain offline until a security review and internal testing are completed. Clients were told Family Planning NSW was one of several agencies targeted by cyber criminals who requested a bitcoin ransom on April 25.
