Hackers demand £1 million from David Beckham’s advisers

Posted on February 6, 2017 by Dissent

Hannah reports:

As if exposing David Beckham’s rants regarding his missed opportunity of knighthood were not enough, hackers demanded almost a million euros from his advisers.

According to a report from Mirror, these hackers were believed to be using Russian servers to access files and messages from the database in a sports agency headed by Simon Oliveira, Beckham’s publicist.

A source shared that the hackers approached Doyen Sports, a part of Doyen Global, through email and attempted to facilitate a meet up via third party. It further noted, “The hack wasn’t targeted at David at all – it was very much a fishing expedition but David has been caught in the crossfire.”
