Website Security Update
We recently identified and resolved a security incident affecting the British Obstacle Sports website.
Between 29 May and 4 June 2026, malicious code was present on the website following the exploitation of a vulnerability in a third-party WordPress plugin. The issue has now been fully resolved and additional security measures are being implemented.
Our investigation has found no evidence that member or user data held by British Obstacle Sports was accessed, compromised or extracted. Importantly, the BOS website does not store membership records, athlete data or payment information.
If you visited the website during this period and encountered unusual pop-ups, security warnings, or requests to run commands on your device, we recommend running a full antivirus or anti-malware scan and ensuring your software is up to date.
We apologise for any concern caused and would like to thank members of the community who reported the issue and helped us resolve it quickly.
Further information is available on our website.
