PARIS (AP) — The French soccer federation has been hit by a cyber-attack that resulted in the theft of data relating to members, it said on Thursday. The FFF said the 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.” It did not say how many members were affected. According to the federation, the issue was resolved after the unauthorized access, carried out using a compromised account, was detected.
