FIFA 20 Global Series: A flaw in the system has made a lot of sensitive data public

With the opening of registrations for the FIFA 20 Global Series, the eSport competition open to all with 3 million dollars up for grabs which are also a prelude to FIFA eWorld Cup next year, we have become aware of serious issues with individual player data.

In fact, it would seem that following the registration of data for participation in the tournament some users have seen their personal information publicly disclosed in front of everyone. A security flaw that has made the sensitive data of many players in the open. EA Sports, rightly, he immediately proceeded to close the registration page, managing to identify the problem and solve it as soon as possible, however by now a lot of data had been made public.

Through an official statement, the company apologized to all the players affected which seem to be as many as 1600. She also said she got in touch with everyone right away to allow for greater security regarding their data and their EA accounts.

Unfortunately, the even more negative aspect of this whole story is that registration for the FIFA 20 Global Series has been temporarily interrupted (until everything returns to normal) ensuring that the page will be reopened shortly.
