News Port Adelaide Hacked by Ransomware Group

if all that happens is email spam who cares

 

[Enoch Blaze]

I doubt the club were ever storing credit card details.

AFL Membership Services out of Docklands are contracted to run all the clubs membership services. All clubs use this service.

 

[sobrave]

They are stored by the lesser known Harold Hinkley on a spreadsheet on his home computer.

Every night he loads the members credit card details onto an Officeworks USB to take home and place it in his key bowl.

 

[raptalia]

It's pretty clearly stated by our glorious leader that Membership details are stored by a third party offsite (aka Ticketmaster)

Thank you so much that is a relief.

I'd honestly prefer to receive a threatening email from a foreign scammer than another Matthew Richardson email anyway

If you receive an email purporting to be from membership@pafc.com.au attempting to sell you a Port Adelaide membership, be wary! It may be a scam email attempting to sell you a Port Adelaide membership.

What are the Russians thinking?! Hinkley's Intel ain't gonna help em.

Putin to move from the kremlin to the front line. He'll be seen doing a little jig and finger wiggle every time a missile hits a children's hospital

 

[Rendaw]

Wasn't there already a data breach a couple years ago that they tried to hush up?

They must've done a good job of it then.

Anything from Richo reads like a scam anyway.

Richo doesn't exist. He is a collective of teens from Moldova.

The way Port are going, it might present better value!

I honestly dont know what the fuss is about! After all, the club was hacked by Holly Ransomware years ago!

Members have been holding the club ransom on and off since what? 2010?

Port have been scamming me out of my money for the last 9 years anyway. At least if it had gone to Russian hackers I could have been comforted by the knowledge that my money didn't go towards another Hinkley contract.

[RussellEbertHandball]

What could Putin possibly want from the mob in Alberton?

Are the Russians attempting to finally identify the difference between Jason Horne-Francis and Miles Bergman?


I wonder if his Sunday Mail colleague and the umpires have worked this out.

 

[dav3]

Odd article from the a "long suffering Crows supporter" given they annexed Thebarton

 

[Visenfest]

Don’t know, but my proposed trade is:

Out:

• Hinkley
• McEntee
• ransom (money, not Holly, but this is negotiable)

In:

• return of data
• goal kicking small forward

 

[Launchpad McQuack]

Members have been holding the club ransom on and off since what? 2010?

They don't negotiate with white noise terrorists but they will negotiate with Hinkley.

 

[El_Scorcho]

Putin hacking us to find out how to utilise propaganda to stay in a place you're not wanted for as long as possible.

AFL Membership Services out of Docklands are contracted to run all the clubs membership services. All clubs use this service.

It is illegal for any IT system to store your credit card details with big fines involved.
Hence on-line systems connect to a their party to process your payment details.

Sure, my money is being used to blow up Ukrainian civilians, but at least that scab Hinkley isn't seeing a penny!

Because Docklands Stadium use the Ticketmaster system and the AFL lives there, they probably have sub contracted AFL Membership Services to them.
