However, in the process of exploiting the vulnerability, the hacker may have obtained some contact information for Greenpeace supporters, including email addresses, names and postal addresses. We have no evidence that this information was the target of the cyber incident or of any misuse of this information.<\/p>\n\n<p>Greenpeace has contacted all donors concerned and notified both the police and the Privacy Commissioner.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2018Stripe Payment Processing\u2019 automatically refunded all fraudulent credit card charges during the relevant period. We recommend that our supporters remain vigilant to scam attempts and monitor their credit card statements closely.<\/p>\n\n<p>As part of the automatic refund process,&nbsp; a number of legitimate donations to Greenpeace were also inadvertently refunded.
