Trend
Summary

Show ▼
Sports organizations faced sustained cyber targeting across the last 12 months, with 84% of teams, venues and event bodies hit and 57% struck more than once. The pattern raises operational risk for live events, where attackers can time ransomware or DDoS disruption for maximum impact. The same targeting also increases exposure to fan data theft, supply-chain abuse and phishing-led compromise.
