Official Club Notice | Your Data May Have Been Compromised

Recommended Posts

6 minutes ago, Beechey said:

If what @UniFox21 is saying is true, and it's just a record of a purchase, then really, card details should not be in danger here - most stores will keep a note of some card information (mostly for say, end user records: "You bought x item for £x using card ending in 1234", and of course, administration bank end uses), but not enough to mimic that card (always no security pin, and most of the time no expiration dates). I'm curious to know precisely what has been lost here.

It's what I'm assuming, given unless you go to store your card info online  (wouldn't recommend doing that), that there's no need for them to store the full number or 3 digits given the bank has your approval for the transaction. 

 

It's always good to take the recommended precautions when this type of thing happens, but panic isn't needed

It's basically as we thought.

I'd still like to know exactly what it is they store, though - purely out of curiosity.

Exactly, companies are sceptical about storing too much sensitive data given if they are hacked, they can be at fault for so much damage otherwise. There's no need to store more than needed when it comes to making sure they're getting paid.

 

Like i said, no need to panic, but if you're worried having bought in that period, then contact your bank. They'll talk you through what the steps are. Better to be safe than sorry with these things.

 

I'd love to know what they store, just to be nosey as well. 

 

 

Mods - can we highlight the quoted post? This type of info should stop people panicking straight away after hearing "bank details" and "compromised".

The attack you're mentioning is an injection attack (specifically XSS). If this has occurred I'm even more concerned about whoever is developing this website than before, because they're one of the simplest attacks to avoid, and one of the most common attacks.

 

I really hope it's not the case.

I'm curious to know precisely what has been lost here.

where were you on the night of the hack, son?

I was robbed of 9.5m in the early noughties

 

£5m on Ade Akinbiyi, £3m on Matthew Jones and £1.5m on Trevor Benjamin

 

Mr.P Taylor (Dagenham)

Don’t understand comment regarding Matt Jones, he was one of our better players until he got injured and had to retire.

True, although I can’t really remember and was more based on 3m for less than 30 games. 

 

Maybe not robbery, but certainly not value for money.

Got called from 01162294401 earlier claiming she was from LCFC, asking me if I wanted to renew my membership. Don’t usually give details over the phone so ended the call. That number isn’t on the club’s website and if you search google with LCFC it returns zero.

 

My details weren’t involved in the hack so I wonder if it IS a scam, it might be the same people going down the list of contact details they weren’t able to get card details from...

 

Anyone else had this? Just be wary....

 

PS, yes I have emailed the club.

Just came on here looking for this... My phone was turned off, I have got a voicemail at 7 pm from the same number. Message was similar, using my first name and saying the club have introduced new benefits for the upcoming season's membership and would like the opportunity to discuss it with me. I think it's legitimate and it's the club trying out a new (slightly desperate) marketing strategy, but it'd be interesting to know what the club replies.

Can't imagine that'll be genuine. Don't remember the club asking specifically for telephone consent, so if they haven't, that'd be outside of Data Protection law.

 

On the issue itself, even if you've let them store the card details, no way would (should) they keep the security number on the back. That'd be madness. Also, companies aren't just skeptical of taking too much information (trust me 95% of employees don't understand that idea), it's written into Data Protection law that you should only take what you need, so you'd be stupid to get info you don't need.

 

You can tell I work in Data Governance... It's code for need to get a life

Cheers. Bit dodgy with GDPR then. Just logged into my account and found the opt in/out preferences which I'm sure wasn't there when first signing up years ago. They were blank so I've never opted in. Opted out of calls now.

Remember you had to re-register when the new website was launched and the options have been there since then

Did you ever confirm whether this number was from LCFC in the end? Just missed a call from the same number myself and found this thread from Google.

 

I can see you posted an image later in the thread but it's not showing now - must've been lost somehow in the last year.

From memory, the image showed an email reply from Jim confirming that call was indeed from the club. I got the same call from that number.

I'm afraid my LCFC memory is shite unless you want me to tell you who scored the winner against Barnsley in 1998.
