A Premier League club came close to losing £1 million during a transfer deal due to cyber hackers.

The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) said it was only the intervention of the unnamed club's bank that stopped the theft.

It was one of several incidents highlighted as evidence that sport needed to improve its cybersecurity.

"The impact of cybercriminals cashing in on this industry is very real," said the NCSC's Paul Chichester.

A new report from the NCSC says the email address of a Premier League club's managing director had been hacked during a transfer negotiation, leading to the attempt to steal the £1 million.

The report also says that a Football League club was targeted by hackers who cut off its security systems, blocking turnstiles and almost resulting in a fixture postponement.

And it added that in one incident a member of staff at a racecourse lost £15,000 after attempting to buy groundskeeping equipment from a fake version of eBay.

Sir Hugh Robertson, chair of the British Olympic Association, said in the report: "This report is a crucial first step, helping sports organisations to better understand the threat and highlighting practical steps that organisation should take to improve cybersecurity practices."

Jesus of Nazareth

Read the comments and you will realize alot of Nigerians are very dumb , stupid and have extremely low IQs wow!!

Some are saying who will they blame when hush puppie is in prison?? , some are talking that yeah this was done by a white guy..

You are all very stupid!! This was the same crime hush puppie commited the club is just now coming out to release this information officially!

The Americans released this information same with Dubia earlier but the UK club never did

How hard is that for a brain to process ?

No wonder my HR friend always cried that most Nigerians are unemployable...

I mean wow .. how dumb are Nigerians really?

Passive Intelligence isn't that hard haba!!

he can pull it from there.

Don't think so. Instead, the most criminal minded country, USA may use his and Woodberry's skills to drain their rivals, China and Russia. Those are good targets. wink

Scam will never end, this world is turning to something else, there is no security, check YouTube it can teach you anything like how to hack anything. So nothing is safe, one day will will go back to the analog way of doing things because of insecurity.
