Might be a false alarm but worth mentioning.
As we know the club Eticketing website (https://www.eticketing.co.uk/wiganathletic) is "powered by" ticketmaster (and is next to useless when things are busy).
No idea if any club ticket website users have been affected and I don't wish to cause any alarm, but a number of people in the UK have had their accounts accessed after a ticketmaster data breach.
Hopefully all club supporters are unaffected by the data breach and the affected systems were not linked in any way.
The Guardian Article (see URL below) suggests an earlier date for iffy transactions compared to the official one.
"Monzo’s experience suggests that anyone who has bought a ticket through Ticketmaster should check their accounts for unusual transactions involving Xendpay, Uber and Netflix. None of these companies were involved in the fraud itself, but were the means by which the fraudsters were able to steal money from people’s accounts.
Ticketmaster did not give any further information about precisely which payment details may be affected, but it warned customers: “We recommend that you monitor your account statements for evidence of fraud or identity theft.
“If you are concerned or notice any suspicious activity on your account, you should contact your bank(s) and any credit card companies.”
The company said: “Based on our investigation, we understand that only certain UK customers who purchased or attempted to purchase tickets may have been affected by the incident."
