Oof. You can confirm it pretty much everywhere. Qualifying just ended for the Austrian Grand Prix, and many people will&#x2F;would be paying attention to their phones for news relating to that.<p>Someone at FOM&#x2F;Liberty Media (holder of the commercial rights for Formula 1, thus the responsible parties for the app)[1] is not having a pleasant Saturday evening in Austria.<p>A head or two should roll up the IT chain, but who knows ... might be a credential leak. An event was held at this same track last weekend, an oddity of the COVID-affected race schedule for the sport. Perhaps they re-used some credentials from last week, that were leaked&#x2F;identified in the layover between race weekends.<p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Formula_One_Group" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Formula_One_Group</a>
