Ajax has confirmed that customer data was compromised during a security breach at its logistics partner, CEVA. The incident, which occurred earlier this month, exposed personal information of individuals who purchased items from the Ajax webshop after January 1, 2024. The stolen data includes names, email addresses, home addresses, and telephone numbers, alongside details regarding specific product purchases. The club explicitly stated that no payment or banking information was accessed during the breach.
Following the discovery, Ajax issued a warning to affected supporters regarding the heightened risk of phishing attempts. The club advised customers to remain vigilant against suspicious communications via email, SMS, or phone that may attempt to impersonate the organization. This security incident involving CEVA also affected other major companies including Bol, Bijenkorf, ING, and Ace & Tate. Reports indicate that the stolen data was subsequently offered for sale on the dark web. Customers who are unsure about the legitimacy of any correspondence are encouraged to verify it directly with the club.
