    Sources: Not Russian sabotage behind the cable breaks

    In recent months, several underwater cables in the Baltic Sea have been damaged, causing concern in several countries. NATO has dispatched ships to patrol the area to protect critical infrastructure.

    Suspicions were raised early that Russia was behind the probable sabotage. Now, however, American and European intelligence sources state for Washington Post that they appear to be pure accidents.

    Investigations show that crews on poorly maintained vessels may have pulled their anchors over the cables by mistake.

    Sports admin: All personal data may have been leaked

    In the worst case, all personal data for all associations and their members may have been leaked in connection with the cyber attack against the Sportadmin app, the company behind the app writes on its website.

    The data breach was discovered on Thursday morning and led to the system being shut down.

    On Saturday, the app was once again available for iPhone users and on Sunday it also became available for Android users.

    According to Sportadmin’s assessment, it is reasonable to assume that personal data has been leaked, even if it is not known to what extent.

    “In the worst possible scenario, all personal data for all associations and their members is covered,” it says on the company’s website.

    Associations are asked to be extra vigilant about contact attempts from unknown email users or phone numbers.

    Sportadmin is used by around 1,700 sports associations in the country and has a million children and adults as members. It is used, among other things, to administer training opportunities and association information.
