On January 16, the Sportadmin app was hit by a data breach. The app is used by sports clubs for, among other things, calling training sessions. The company behind the app reports that it has personal data from 1.1 million people, from 1,700 sports clubs, many of whom are children and some with protected personal data.
According to Swedish Radio, personal data has been up for auction for over a week, but only now has the hacker group published information from the stolen data. This is reported by P4 Värmland and refers to several sources.
Sportadmin now confirms that parts of the personal data have been published.
"We have not ourselves been in contact with the perpetrator in accordance with the directives we received from the police and experts, and therefore do not know more than that at present", says Jennie Everhed, communications manager at Lime Technologies, the company behind the app, in a written comment to TT.
The hacker group behind the breach is said to be the Russian-linked group Ransomhub, according to information to DN.
Those who have used the app and are afraid that their personal data will be spread should, according to the Tax Authority, contact their association.
Jennie Everhed writes further that the associations are being kept informed.
"Now it is primarily a police matter and we can only appeal to everyone's common sense, not to download or otherwise spread these stolen data in order not to further exacerbate the damage for those affected", she writes.
