The American Soccer Company, owner of ScoreSports.com, announced that their systems have been compromised as a result of a data breach incident and credit and debit card data has been accessed without authorization.
The unfortunate event was detected by the company on October 21, and following an investigation, it was discovered that the intrusion occurred on September 4. However, it appears that the hackers were able to access card information collected from June 1 until September 4, from customers of ScoreSports.com.
“Immediately after this discovery, we began an internal investigation and have partnered with an external IT firm to secure the website payments, rapidly gather facts, and provide information to our customers,” the company says in the breach disclosure notice to its customers.
Leaked data includes name, payment card account number, expiration date, and SCORE account number. No evidence exists about addresses and card security codes having been compromised.
Affected individuals are advised to monitor their account statements for suspicious transactions and inform the card issuer in case fraudulent purchases are recorded. If reported in a timely manner, there is no liability of the customer for any unauthorized charges.
SCORE has been founded in 1975 and it is a family owned and operated business. It distributes youth and adult athletic apparel and equipment for soccer, basketball and baseball at factory direct prices.
