Who was affected:
Impacted Data:
Not publicly disclosed beyond confirmation that personal information was involved
Swish Sports, LLC, a Provo, Utah-based company that operates the Swish mobile app for organizing pick-up sports games and pickleball leagues, has notified individuals of a data event involving their personal information. The company sent written notice explaining that it moved quickly to investigate the incident and assess the security of its website after learning of it.
Companies that collect personal information from app users and league participants have a responsibility to keep that data secure, and when an incident occurs, affected individuals deserve a clear explanation of what happened and what they can do to protect themselves.
According to the notice sent to affected individuals, Swish Sports learned of a data event involving personal information and, upon learning of it, moved to investigate, respond, and assess the security of its website. The company states that, as part of its ongoing commitment to information security, it is reviewing its existing policies and procedures following the incident.
The notice states that, due to requirements imposed by Massachusetts law, Swish Sports is not providing further detail about the nature of the event in the letter itself. The company has not publicly disclosed the specific cause of the incident, the exact dates it occurred or was discovered, or a complete list of the data types involved beyond what is included in the notification.
Swish Sports operates both a consumer mobile app for organizing pick-up games and a separate platform used by pickleball and racquet clubs to manage leagues, tournaments, and court bookings, meaning the company’s systems handle personal information from both individual app users and league participants registered through partner organizations. A website-related security event at a company like this can potentially affect account information collected through either side of the business.
Technology companies that operate consumer-facing apps and websites are common targets for attackers seeking account credentials, contact information, or payment-related data, since a single vulnerability in a website or app backend can expose records tied to a large number of users at once. The specific wording in Swish Sports’s notice, that the company assessed the security of its website, suggests the incident was related to the company’s web infrastructure rather than a physical loss of records.
Individuals who use apps to organize recreational sports, book courts, or register for leagues often do not think of that information as high-risk, but a user profile combined with contact information and any stored payment details can still be valuable to a cybercriminal for follow-up phishing or unauthorized account access. Anyone who received this notice should review their Swish account for any unfamiliar activity and update their account password as a precaution, regardless of the exact data types confirmed in the notice.
Swish Sports’s notice does not specify the exact dates the data event occurred or was discovered. The notice letter provided to affected individuals is dated September 16, 2026.
Swish Sports has not publicly disclosed a complete list of the specific data types involved in this incident beyond confirming that personal information was affected.
