The National Society Sons of the American Revolution (NSSAR), a United States-based historical and educational non-profit organization, has allegedly suffered a data breach resulting in the compromise of sensitive internal records. An unidentified party is reportedly offering a 45.66 GB database containing over 16,000 files belonging to the organization for sale for $5,000.
The allegedly compromised data includes:
-
Membership analytics and statistics for over 37,000 SAR members (including age, location, and demographic density maps)
-
Genealogical research library files, including family history files, biographies, and lineage proofs
-
High-quality scans of American Revolutionary era land and personal property tax records
-
Administrative documents, including museum plans, business plans, budgets, and Board of Trustees letters
-
A complete archive of the official SAR Magazine dating from 1906 to 2017
