Data breach exposes details of Dutch sports club members

A data breach hit All United, a system used to manage members of Dutch sports clubs and federations.

The Dutch cricket federation says data on all its players was stolen, including names, addresses, phone numbers, birth dates and bank account numbers.

Football clubs were also affected, including VV Katwijk, which said data was copied from its database.

The full scale of the breach is not yet known.

The cricket federation and VV Katwijk warn that criminals may use the data to send fake payment requests, such as demands for club fees or fines.

The federation advises members to change passwords on other accounts if they reused their All United password.

All United has closed the breach, and it has been reported to the Dutch Data Protection Authority.
