Security News > 2021 > February > Atheists warn followers of unholy data leak, hint dark deeds may have tried to make it go away
The Atheist Alliance International, an organisation that works to demystify atheism and advocate for secular governance, has warned members their personal information appears to have been leaked.
In an email to members sighted by The Register, the organisation says former staffers recently started a rival atheist organisation that has since emailed the Alliance's members.
The Alliance suspects its new rival was only able to do so because former staffers took some data when they left.
The email says the Alliance has contacted the rival organisation and secured an admission that it has "a file" of data in its possession.
The Alliance will publish the ultimatum at 14:00 GMT on Friday, February 19th. The email links to the ultimatum and while it is not yet live, the URL provided contains the text "We-were-offered-5000-to-keep-quiet".
Which suggests this data leak may about to become an unbelievable and unholy mess!
