Premier League clubs will attend a sports cyber security summit on Wednesday — two months after Manchester United were held to ransom by hackers.
The National Cyber Security Centre will give guidance to over 180 representatives from clubs and organisations across several sports in how to protect themselves from cyber criminals.
Among those attending will be 11 top-flight clubs and 35 from the EFL.
Last year, the agency revealed that cyber crime targeting professional teams included an attempt to sabotage a transfer involving a Premier League club. And in November Sportsmail revealed United were victims of a hack the club described as ‘a sophisticated operation by organised cyber criminals’.
