The 49ers’ defense couldn’t stop the Rams two weeks ago, and it appears they couldn’t stop BlackByte hackers, either.
RICHMOND, Va. — The 49ers have been hit by a ransomware attack, with cyber criminals claiming they stole some of the football team’s financial data.
The team, which is among the most valuable and storied franchises in the NFL and lost a close playoff game two week ago, said in a statement Sunday that it recently became aware of a “network security incident” that had disrupted some of its corporate IT network systems. The 49ers said they’d notified law enforcement and hired cybersecurity firms to assist.
News of the attack comes two days after the FBI and U.S. Secret Service issued an alert on BlackByte ransomware, saying it had “compromised multiple US and foreign businesses, including entities in at least three US critical infrastructure sectors” since November.
