French Basketball Federation Data Allegedly for Sale, 75,831 People and 2,000 CVs Listed
A seller posting as weykofa is advertising what they describe as the database of the Fédération Française de Basketball, the national governing body for basketball in France. The listing claims more than 2,000 files totalling 839MB in JSON, CSV, and PDF formats, covering 75,831 individuals, 6,873 clubs, 16,681 email addresses, and 2,030 CVs. The posted sample shows club records with names, mobile numbers, personal email addresses, and street addresses for named contacts across regional clubs. The asking price is $700 in Bitcoin, described as negotiable. The claim is unverified.

⚠Potential impact
Club contact details are largely public already, which limits the sensitivity of much of this set. The 2,030 CVs are the exception: résumés carry employment history, education, personal contact details, and frequently photographs and referee names, all in one document and none of it published voluntarily. Against 75,831 people the wider file also mixes personal mobile numbers and home addresses with role information. One question the post does not answer is whether licensed players are represented among those individuals, and if so whether any are minors, which would materially change the assessment and is a matter for the federation to establish.
iStatus
UnverifiedA single sample is published, showing club records only, so the composition of the remaining categories cannot be assessed from the post. The stated file size is proportionate to a set containing PDFs alongside structured data. The seller account is recent with no standing and published an unrelated French database days earlier. Contact routes are not reproduced here. The claim is unverified and the federation has not publicly addressed it.
