Olympique de Marseille (OM) is facing a new challenge, this time off the pitch, as the club confirms it has been the target of a cyberattack potentially compromising the data of 400,000 supporters. The incident comes as the team struggles with a four-match winless streak, culminating in a 2-0 defeat against Brest on Friday, February 21, 2026.
Details of the Cyberattack
A cybercriminal has reportedly claimed responsibility for the breach and is attempting to sell a database containing personal information of OM fans. This data includes addresses, phone numbers, social media profiles, and order information, according to reports. Le10Sport first reported the news on February 24, 2026.
Team Response and Current Situation
The club has initiated an investigation into the cyberattack. Meanwhile, the team traveled to Marbella, Spain on Monday, February 23, 2026, for a training camp under newly appointed coach Habib Beye, who replaced Roberto De Zerbi. Beye emphasized the importance of team unity and addressing the current challenges. “This internship will allow us to exchange ideas and work. We are all aware of the objectives that face us. And that must be our determination,” Beye stated following the defeat in Brest.
Players have also expressed a need for improved cohesion. Goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli noted, “We have lost trust between us and I hope that this week in Spain will help us find the solution.” He added, “In these moments, we must be together, more united than ever, to seek connection, cohesion, state of mind, everything that we have been missing a lot since January.”
