We wanted to make you aware of recent claims made online about a potential cyber incident and the immediate action we are taking to address this.

The Port Adelaide Football Club has become aware of claims made online that a third party has obtained some data from our internal IT environment.

The club is investigating these claims as a priority, but importantly can confirm that membership data is hosted on an external, separate system to our internal IT network.

Following initial detection of this claim, the club immediately engaged external cyber security experts to facilitate the ongoing investigation.

In light of these recent claims, we recommend all our members remain vigilant against the potential risk of receiving phishing or other scam communications from any parties claiming to be from Port Adelaide Football Club. Please do not respond to any email, telephone or social media communications that seem suspicious, and report it to membership@pafc.com.au.

Port Adelaide will provide further information when it becomes available.

Please do not hesitate to contact membership@pafc.com.au if you have any questions.
