American football team the San Francisco 49ers have been hit by ransomware, with the criminals responsible claiming to have stolen corporate data and threatened to publish it.<\/p>\n

Calling itself Blackbyte, the ransomware gang responsible published samples of stolen documents on a dark web blog over the weekend, as seen by The Register<\/i>. About 300MB of files were present on the publicity site used by Blackbyte and are thought to include recent internal finance data for the team.<\/p>\n

The 49ers said law enforcement and “third-party cybersecurity firms” were on the case and acknowledged the security breach in a statement on Sunday, saying: “To date, we have no indication that this incident involves systems outside of our corporate network, such as those connected to Levi\u2019s Stadium operations or ticket holders.”<\/p>\n
