With 14 ice rinks around the country, Planet Ice has been the target of a cyber attack with an estimated 200,000 customers affected. Planet Ice owns ice rinks in a number of major centres, including Bristol Ice Rink at Cribbs Causeway.
In an email sent out this week, the ice rink operator said only non-financial data has been stolen. This means personal details such as names, addresses and passwords have been stolen by fraudsters.
Planet Ice has warned customers that they should not reply to any further emails about the breach and such emails should be treated as suspicious. The email stated: “We believe personal information about you may have been unlawfully accessed or affected by this date security incident”, highlighting that financial data is handled by a different company and could not have been accessed during the breach.
