The National Lottery was not hacked
Camelot yesterday reported that a few days prior, it had noticed unusual activity on a number of online National Lottery accounts. Roughly 26,500 of 9.5 million accounts are thought to have been compromised, with suspicious activity -- in this case, personal details being changed -- noted on less than 50. Since then, UK and international media have reported on this incident, with the vast majority of coverage sporting striking headlines along the lines of "National Lottery hacked." This statement is simply untrue. The National Lottery was not hacked.
