Golf Canada: a data breach
In mid-2026, hundreds of thousands of user records allegedly sourced from Golf Canada began circulating via Telegram. The data included 569k unique email addresses along with names, usernames, dates of birth, genders and approximate geographic locations (city, province and postcode). It remains unclear whether the data was obtained via unintentionally exposed website features or a security vulnerability.
