The Ms. Foundation, a prominent philanthropic institution, recently confirmed a data breach, filing notice with the Massachusetts Attorney General on September 2, 2025. While the exact details of the incident remain under investigation, this breach means that personal information maintained by the Foundation was accessed by unauthorized parties.
Organizations like the Ms. Foundation routinely handle a vast array of sensitive records for donors, grant applicants, and partners.
