Hackers attack PGA computers and ask for rescue in bitcoin

The Professional Golf Association of the United States is the new victim of hackers who violated their system and requested a ransom in this cryptocurrency

The pirates of the network focused on the world of cryptocurrencies made an attack on the PGA system, the Professional Golf Association of the United States, and requested a rescue in bitcoin.

The organization has not given statements about the event, nor is the amount of the ransom known. The criminal act comes out during the development of the Grand Slam that brings together golf professionals in Bellerive, San Luis.

The portal specialized in this sport Golf Week indicated that among the irreplaceable data that were stolen by hackers are some advertising materials such as those related to the Ryder Cup, which will take place at the end of September in France.

The PGA is another victim of cyber criminals who seek easy money by violating the platforms of institutions and agencies then ask for ransom for valuable data.

Although the attack has not tarnished the development of the 2018 PGA Championship, it no doubt jeopardizes its stability and demands emergency security plans.
