The Dutch cricket federation KNCB reported the breach. Football club VV Katwijk also said it was a victim.
The attack came on Monday evening, when an unknown attacker exploited a software flaw in AllUnited. The flaw was discovered on Tuesday and has since been closed.
The leaked member data may include name, address and town. It may also include email address, phone number, and date and place of birth. IBAN numbers, which are international bank account numbers, may be included too. Login details of people with an AllUnited account may also be affected.
Clubs warn members that criminals could misuse the stolen information. Clubs give the example of fake messages asking for membership fees or a fine to be paid via a payment link.
