Gym operator Basic-Fit data breach exposes details of a million gym members

Gym operator Basic-Fit has ​suffered a ​data breach involving around 1 ​million members with 200,000 in the Netherlands alone, a company spokesperson said ‌on Monday.

Basic-Fit ⁠owns ⁠gyms serving over 4.5 million customers ​across six European countries including France, Germany, ​and Spain. It also runs a franchise model in six ​other countries, which uses ⁠a separate ‌system and was ​not ​affected by the leak.

⁠Breach involves members' bank account details, ​names, birth dates and contact ​information


Basic-Fit says the unauthorised access was detected by its system monitoring tools and was stopped within minutes

Members whose ‌data is involved have been informed, Basic-Fit says

The ​company noted ​it does ⁠not hold members' identification documents and no passwords were accessed, adding that ​the main risk for affected members would be potential phishing attempts.
