The British Judo Association has temporarily shut down its online membership application system following a breach of some member’s details.
The BJA has warned its members to “remain vigilant and to monitor your credit cards, account statements and similar reports” after an illegal intrusion captured some members’ details.
A spokesperson told the Register that only a small number were breached, but only the online membership application and renewal system has been compromised, not the main database.
In a statement emailed to members and posted on the website, British Judo told martial artists: “Although we are still investigating the breach, we are aware that an unauthorised person has illegally gained access to a small and limited number of British Judo members’ personal details, despite the system being PCI compliant.”
