According to an article from the Cyber Express, the American Golf data breach was announced after they were targeted in a recent ransomware attack. Hackers claimed to have obtained nearly 155 GB of data from the company’s computer network. The hackers claimed to have obtained email correspondence, members’ data, orders, full access account credentials (User ID, Passwords, Secret Keys), reports, licenses, passports, and financial data.
