The Royal Dutch Cycling Union, the national governing body for cycling in the Netherlands, has urged members to update their passwords after being hit by a data breach.

In a statement issued on November 27, the KNWU (‘Koninklijke Nederlandsche Wielren Unie’) indicated that malicious hackers now possess the entire contents of a legacy database containing members’ contact details.
However, the statement did not indicate what types of personal data were involved or how many individuals are affected.

Ransom demand
The KNWU said it had received a ransom demand that said the stolen data would be returned to the body if it paid up.
The database in question was stolen from a previous incarnation of the ‘MijnKNWU’ platform, which members log into to access benefits.
