Nayax has confirmed that its systems are secure and free of unauthorized access following a suspected information security incident announced on July 8, 2026. The company's production environment and core systems were not impacted, and business operations continue without disruption. The investigation revealed that exfiltrated information included a backup of scanned documents, additional business-related information, and backup payment transaction records. However, the data did not contain sensitive payment authentication details such as cardholder names, CVV values, or ID information, as these are not retained in the company's systems. A significant portion of the transactions were conducted using digital wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay, which use single-use tokens with no value if disclosed. Customer safeguarded funds remained untouched, and no unauthorized access to those accounts occurred.

Board Response and Financial Impact

The Board of Directors has resolved not to comply with criminal extortion demands, stating that doing so would not align with the long-term best interests of customers, partners, employees, and shareholders. Nayax has incurred costs related to responding to, remediating, and investigating the attack and may continue to do so. The full financial impact, including insurance or indemnification offsets and any effects on customer behavior, is not yet determined. However, the company does not currently expect a material effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

Cooperation with Authorities

Nayax continues to cooperate fully with relevant law enforcement authorities, who are conducting an intensive investigation into the incident and those responsible. The company's technical remediation activities have been completed, and its systems have been cleared.
