Cyber criminals target professional sports industry

The professional sports industry is increasingly being targeted by cyber criminals, with hackers seeking financial gain, politically motivated hackers disrupting events, and foreign governments interfering in international sporting events. A survey from the UK's National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) found that 70% of sporting organizations are hit by at least one cyberattack annually.
