- Legends International releases a data on violation of data violation
- It says it suffered a cyberattack and data violation in November 2024
- The study of the nature of the stolen data is in progress
Legends International, a company that provides premium services to sports and entertainment sites, has confirmed to suffer a cyberattack and lose sensitive data.
In a message of violation of data violation, the company said the identified “unauthorized activity” on its IT systems in early November 2024.
After taking down parts of its infrastructure and running a study, it discovered that “certain legends files” had become access to and ex -filtered during the attack.
During investigation
The letter does not discuss the nature of the stolen data, so we do not know if it is the usual (names, e -mail addresses, postal addresses), or whether it contains more sensitive information (payment data, driver’s license numbers, social security number, etc.).
Basic information belonging to former employees and customers is likely to be taken into consideration of how the legends formulated it in the letter: “It seems that legends had your personal information in these files because you either worked on or visited a place administered by legends.”
The company offered 24 months of free identity services to affected persons through Experian. Victims have until July 31, 2025 to sign up.
This, Cyberinsides claims, could mean that “very sensitive personal data” was also taken.
The study seems to be persistent and law enforcement has been notified. Therefore, we still do not know how many people may have been affected. However, since the organization is quite large, it can be a big incident.
Legends International employs approx. 5,800 people across six continents and recently reported an estimated annual turnover of $ 1.7 billion for the period ended March 31, 2024.
At the time of the press, no threat actors assumed responsibility for the attack, and legends have not found that the data is shared everywhere online yet.
The company still called on its former employees and customers to remain vigilant and keep an eye on their bank statements and credit history for signs of unauthorized transactions.
