Basic-Fit Data Breach Exposes Personal Information of Members Across Europe
Basic-Fit, Europe's largest budget fitness chain by club count, has disclosed a significant data breach affecting members across multiple countries. The breach exposed personal information, including names, addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth, and bank account details of approximately 200,000 members in the Netherlands alone. The attack targeted the chain's club check-in and visit-registration system, which logs member access through turnstiles at each location. Basic-Fit operates over 1,300 clubs in seven European countries, including the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, France, Spain, Germany, and Austria. The company confirmed that no passwords or identity documents were accessed, and it has notified the Dutch Data Protection Authority about the unauthorized access.
