Massive Data Breach Affects 103,879 Lottery Players and Employees

A significant data breach has occurred, affecting 103,879 individuals. The breach, which took place on or around November 17, 2024, involved the exposure of sensitive personal information, including names, Social Security numbers, financial and health information, Driver's License numbers, dates of birth, and contact details. The affected individuals were primarily lottery players and employees of Brightstar Lottery Group and IGT Group. Murphy Law Firm is now investigating the incident and exploring legal options.

Murphy Law Firm is currently evaluating legal options, including the possibility of a class action lawsuit, to help those affected recover damages. The law firm is working to determine the full extent of the breach and the measures being taken by the affected companies to protect the individuals involved.

The data breach, which compromised the personal and financial information of tens of thousands of individuals, serves as a stark reminder of the importance of robust cybersecurity measures. As the investigation continues, those affected are advised to monitor their credit reports and accounts for any suspicious activity. Murphy Law Firm will provide updates as more information becomes available.
