News in brief: Arrests over Bet24 security breach; Demetriou asks questions of Alderney over FTP payments
Bet24 has revealed that arrests have been made over a security breach which it says resulted in customer information being “stolen”. The breach relates to accounts registered before 31 October 2009, and data stolen includes player names, addresses, dates of birth and account usernames, and credit card details, although those who registered accounts between 28 April 2007 and 31 October 2009 are said to be affected to a lesser degree than those who registered earlier. Bet24 has issued advice on its website to players who may have been affected, urging them to change passwords and review bank statements. A spokesman for Bet24 has told eGaming Review that the credit card details in question remain encrypted, and do not include the security numbers on the back of the card.
