A final assessment of the types of data affected and the extent of the attack is still pending and is currently under investigation. The IDW asks for increased vigilance and recommends changing passwords in any case. 

If you have any questions, please contact the IDW data protection officer, Wolfgang Anfang (datenschutz@idw.de).
