The theft of personal details belonging to 650,000 Paddy Power customers in 2010 has almost certainly led to some of those people falling victim to identity theft, warns a security expert.
Gambling website Paddy Power admitted yesterday that hackers stole details of more than 600,000 customers in a cyber attack four years ago, and that it “suspected” the leak at the time but failed to warn those who may have been exposed to a greater risk of identity theft.
