If not, I'd like an explanation of how fraudsters managed to email all SSC members. And non-members as I didn't renew last time but my details must still be on their database.

DoonTheSlope Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 If they've got our email addresses then how easy is it for them to also have a hold of our card details? Is it anything to worry about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know where I can obtain a good anti-malware/virus-scanning program? Malwarebytes' scan only took a few minutes, which isnt normal, and didn't find the virus I clicked on it as well on my phone...exactly the same, not enough coffee. Haven't noticed any problems so far. it downloaded but wouldn't open for some reason. hopefully didn't get something. will probably reboot my phone in case. There is a duty of care for our data to be protected. I haven't renewed but my data is still there as well. I'm sure the SFAs contract will protect them from compensation however.

I'd be wary of thinking something didn't open. I'd recommend getting hold of a virus checker app immediately and running a full scan. 4 minutes ago, DoonTheSlope said: I've just been into my SSC account and deleted my cards, address etc Not to be alarmist, but it's a bit late for that. If there's been a data breach, whoever has access to the data will have a copy. Needs to be a clear statement from SSC/SFA about what data has been breached.

aaid Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Just now, Parklife said: My concern also. They could have my name, DOB, address and card details. I'd say that's unlikely. It looks more like a straightforward email hack where an email account has been hacked or spoofed and they've got a hold of the email contacts. That stuff happens all the time. A couple of things make me think that's the case. Firstly, some people are reporting that they are getting it from the "Scotland Supporters Club" and from "Scotland National Team" and people are reporting getting it sent to personal and work email addresses. More importantly, if the SSC membership database been hacked, then that would include your personal details, and so you expect them to include things like your name and address in the email to make it look more authentic.

If people clicked the box about receiving marketing mails when the last renewed then non-renewal would not have stopped this unless explicitly told to so the details would remain in the system. Fairly certain that will be their explanation. Edited December 5, 2016 by theweestevie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They send out 1000 emails, 100 of them may be to people that have a PayPal account and if 1 out of that 100 follows up on it then they are quids in. I get loads of spam email purporting to be from various accounts I've never had any dealings with in my life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallace1953 Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Got two emails asking for £170 each. I would have expected by now an official email from the SSC to all members acknowledging their security breach plus a warning not to open the link. I would expect there are many members unaware of this thread and will innocently open the link. An apology would also be appreciated and an note of the extent of the security breach.
