Paddy Power and Betfair users warned about danger in emails after a security breach
Hackers have accessed the personal information of possibly 800,000 customers of Flutter Entertainment, owner of the Paddy Power and Betfair brands. The company has confirmed an intrusion that could have compromised personal data such as names, emails, and account-related details, increasing the risk of phishing attempts and identity theft targeting affected users.
What affected users should do: change passwords immediately on Paddy Power, Betfair, and any other service where the same key is reused; enable two-step authentication whenever possible; be wary of emails requesting sensitive data or containing unsolicited links and attachments; check the sender's address and contact official support through the verified website before providing information; and monitor bank statements and notifications of unusual activity.
Additionally, we recommend using a password manager to generate unique and secure keys, monitoring login history on affected accounts, and, if applicable, notifying the financial institution to add additional controls. In the event of any suspicious email, do not interact with links and report it as phishing.
