What happened

A threat actor is sharing for free on an underground forum a database allegedly taken from AFPadel, the governing body for padel in Belgium's Wallonia-Brussels Federation. The actor claims 10,226 player records with names, emails, affiliation IDs, licence type and ranking points. The claim is not independently verified and AFPadel has not confirmed an incident.

Why it matters

If confirmed, the data enables targeted scams: fake licence-renewal, tournament-fee or club-payment emails quoting each player's real affiliation and ranking. Location coordinates and photo links cited in the claim add physical-safety and profiling risk. The federation has not commented so far.

What to do

Treat the case as an unverified claim and follow AFPadel's position. Security teams should monitor forums and the shared material. Clubs and players should distrust payment requests quoting real personal details.
