Spa Grand Prix email account hacked to phish banking info from fans

Hackers hijacked the official Spa Grand Prix contact email on March 17, 2024 and used it to send phishing messages promising a €50 voucher that redirected recipients to a fake site requesting personal and banking details; SPA GP responded within hours, alerted customers, implemented additional security measures, and filed complaints with the Belgian cyber police and for a civil claim. The event impacted an undisclosed number of recipients, the main ticketing site remained unaffected, and an investigation is ongoing.
