The UKs National Lottery administrator, Camelot, faced a security lapse impacting approximately 26,500 of its 9.5 million online user profiles. The organization minimized the event, indicating they identified irregular actions on a limited fraction of accounts. Although no funds were taken or added, Camelot acknowledged that certain private data might have been accessed. They are reaching out to impacted individuals and mandating password changes. It seems the perpetrators did not penetrate essential lottery infrastructure, and a probable source is customers reusing credentials exposed in prior data leaks at other entities.
