World Rugby has suspended one of its websites after the governing body was the target of a cyber attack.

Hackers were able to obtain personal data from thousands of subscribers after a security breach on May 3rd.

It is not yet clear if it was a random attack to steal data, or if World Rugby was deliberately targeted.
