Flutter reports cyberattack on Paddy Power and Betfair customer data
Flutter said a cyberattack accessed customer information held by its UK-facing Paddy Power and Betfair brands, affecting a significant proportion of their sportsbook and betting-exchange customers. The company said names, email addresses, address fragments, IP addresses and some account activity were exposed, but passwords, identity documents and usable payment details were not; it contained the incident, notified relevant authorities and informed affected customers.
The breach exposed customer data at two gambling brands, while Flutter said accounts did not need to be suspended.
