Potentially 250,000 reasons UK nature conservation charity was targeted

The Woodland Trust, a peaceful British charity that looks after trees, was struck by a “cyber attack” before Christmas.
Members of the trust, which says it has planted 43 million trees since its foundation in 1972, were informed last night of what was inevitably described as a “sophisticated, high level cyber-incident.”
It may not seem obvious what cybercriminals wanted to achieve by targeting the trust, whose online content includes guides on planting trees and how to object to planning permission applications that could result in trees being cut down – but it does have 250,000 registered members.
