Personal Info Compromised

Ladbrokes is one of the top names in the online casino gambling industry and the company has a long history within the UK market – the company operates from a place of trust with the public, and respect. Perhaps it’s this very fact that has the rest of the gambling industry quite so alarmed by the recent media storm that has been created by an Aussie who claims to have the personal information of more than 10,000 Ladbrokes account holders up for sale. The Aussie in question claims to have previously worked for the online casino gambling group and was able to obtain the player information through a security breach; although he was going to initially report the breach he instead chose to take this situation to the media, or more specifically, to The Mail on Sunday.

The Main On Sunday is a UK paper that was probably just as surprised as Ladbrokes to hear about the security breach and the possible loss key personal information from online casino gamblers. The information in question is so much more than just the name and address of Ladbrokes players; this unknown seller only goes by the name “Daniel” and claims to also hold the account numbers and gambling history data in addition to all of the more persona details. This is quite a bit of a fiasco for Ladbrokes and the company is one of the first major online casinos in the market to encounter such a huge security breach.

“Daniel” claims that although he only has the information on 10,000 of the Ladbrokes online casino gamblers, that he still has access to the rest of the company’s 4.5 million registered players. Selling this type of information is highly illegal and Ladbrokes announced that the company was working with police to further investigate the situation and prevent the newspapers from receiving all of the confidential player data.
