Aston Villa is aware of recent news reports of a publicly accessible AWS S3 bucket which reportedly contains fan data.
First and foremost, Aston Villa takes the privacy and security of its fans’ personal data extremely seriously and is carrying out a full and robust investigation into these reports, led by its Data Protection Officer and supported by the Club’s incident response team.
The Club believes that the reports relate to a vulnerability on one of its service provider’s systems and is working closely with the service provider, who are implementing their own in-depth inquiry.
Aston Villa will continue to communicate any updates from the ongoing investigation in due course but would like to reassure supporters that the Club is seeking a swift and thorough resolution to the matter.
