# AFPAdel

Data breach — Moderate

On 20 October 2026, a threat actor claimed to have freely published, on a cybercriminal forum, a database of 10,226 rows (about 5 MB) attributed to the website of AFPAdel, a Belgian body involved in padel in the Wallonia-Brussels Federation. The sample released contains names, email addresses, affiliation identifiers, age categories, rankings, licence types and club affiliations. The row count does not establish that as many distinct individuals are affected. To our knowledge, the organisation has not confirmed the incident.

This data allows a third party to identify players, contact them by email, and link their identity to their sporting level, licence and club.

## Exposed data

- Full name
- Email address
- Customer ID
- Other personal data

## What you can do

- Expect phishing attempts quoting your name and this company. A message that knows your details is not legitimate for that reason.
- You can ask the organisation exactly what was exposed about you (right of access), and complain to the DPA if no answer comes within a month.
