Hooligan list published on dark net

The details of hundreds of people who have been convicted of sports hooliganism have been published on the dark web.

The leak comes after IT systems run by a private company on behalf of the Federal Police Office were hacked.

It’s data from 2015 and lists the names of 766 people. Authorities say they’ve all been informed by letter.

Investigations into how the systems were hacked are continuing.
