Green Bay Packers fans were victims of a data breach in which the team’s official ProShop website was attacked and the information of more than 8,500 people was stolen.
The Green Bay Packers, the only non-profit team in the US National Football League, reported an unauthorized access to data on its ProShop website. The incident occurred in September-October 2024, when attackers injected malicious code into the site’s payment pages. User details such as name, billing address, shipping address, email address and full credit card information including CVV codes were stolen. According to security experts, such an attack could be prevented by carefully monitoring the attacker’s entry points. Other Green Bay Packers IT systems were not accessed, but victims are encouraged to carefully check their bank statements and monitor their credit history.
The Green Bay Packers are a historic team from Green Bay, Wisconsin that has won four Super Bowls. The breach was a wake-up call for many fans who left information on the Pro Shop site to purchase official merchandise. The company promised to provide victims with three years of free credit history monitoring and personal data recovery services. The incident highlights the importance of security in e-commerce, especially for well-known brands
