BDA servers illegally hacked
NewsPosted by: Dental Design 3rd August 2020
The British Dental Association (BDA) has alerted its members to a cyber security breach, which took place last week, as its IT systems were hacked last week. The association has warned that hackers may have gained access to members’ user names, contact information, transaction history, bank details (including account numbers and sort codes), correspondence history, and case notes.

The BDA is warning its members to remain alert and to be wary of any contact from parties claiming to be from a bank, utilities provider or the BDA itself. The association reminds its members that genuine callers will never request card or bank details.
