Sacramento Kings guard Ty Lawson says his computer was hacked and the cyber thieves are now trying to extort him.
TMZ Sports spoke with Lawson’s attorney, Martin Kaufman, who says they’re extremely concerned about the hack because the culprits got access to some very sensitive and private material. Kaufman of course wouldn’t say exactly what was accessed, but says they believe the hackers are shopping the material around to various media outlets and websites.
Kaufman also says the hackers are trying to shake down the NBA star, threatening to go public with the information unless Lawson hands over some serious money.
Lawson has already gone to the cops, and Kaufman says officials are actively investigating the situation but so far, no arrests have been made.
