Major football federation targeted in cyber attack
The French Football Federation (FFF) has confirmed that it was targeted by a cyber-attack, which led to the theft of data related to its members.
The FFF stated that software used by clubs for their administrative management, particularly for handling their registered members, had been targeted by "a cyber-malicious act and a data theft," News.Az reports citing foreign media.
It did not specify how many members were affected.
According to the federation, the issue was resolved after the unauthorised access, carried out using a compromised account, was detected.
“The FFF’s services took the necessary steps to secure the software and the data, notably by immediately disabling the account in question and resetting all user-account passwords,” it said.
