ASVEL

ASVEL, also known as ASVEL basketball club, is a professional basketball organization headquartered in France. Its primary activity is fielding competitive basketball teams and managing associated sports operations. The club operates within the French sports landscape as a basketball franchise.

On October 1, 2023, ASVEL was identified as a victim of a ransomware attack carried out by the NoEscape group. The attackers exfiltrated approximately 32 gigabytes of data from the club’s systems. The stolen information included players’ personal identification documents, financial records, contracts, and confidential agreements.

The incident was part of a broader campaign that affected ASVEL together with fifty‑three other organizations. Ransom demands in the campaign ranged from hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars, although the specific amount sought from ASVEL has not been disclosed. The method by which the attackers initially gained access to the club’s network remains unconfirmed.

As of the latest available information, ASVEL has not issued any public statements regarding the breach or its aftermath. The club continues to operate as a basketball entity based in France, with no further details on ownership or parent‑subsidiary relationships provided in the sources.
