Yankees accidentally leak 20,000 season-ticket holders' personal information
The New York Yankees have made a serious error.
According to an email sent by Yankees Chief Operations Officer Lonn Trost, an employee accidentally emailed a spreadsheet file that listed season-ticket holders' personal information: account numbers, names, home addresses, phone numbers, seat numbers and email addresses. The document was sent to thousands of current Yankees clients.
Deadspin reports 21,466 season-ticket holders' details were listed, representing the "non-premium" seats at Yankee Stadium, excluding only high-roller suites and the more expensive seats in the first few rows of the infield. So no celebrities have been compromised, just regular Yankees fans. "This is totally flooring me," Robert Groder, a Yankees season-ticket holder since 1993, told The Star-Ledger. "This is totally getting me off guard. I'm shocked."
