Ladbrokes Employee Tries to Sell Customer Details
Ladbrokes
A former Ladbrokes employee is currently being investigated by the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), which regulates the use and collection of data in the UK, after he attempted to sell 4.5 million customer’s details to the Daily Mail. The employee, who approached the Mail using the name “Daniel”, revealed he “represented” DSS Enterprises, a Melbourne based company owned by Dinitha Subasinghe.
Subasinghe, who was employed by Ladbrokes from 2007 to 2008, provided “analytical services” for the betting company and has denied any involvement in the case. Speaking to the UK newspaper Subasinghe told reporters that “unless my name, my signature, my fingerprint is on anything” the case has nothing to do with him. The ICO is currently investigating the leaked data and the employee behind it.
“Daniel” told the Daily Mail that he received the data from a “junior employee” at the company. Instead of contacting Ladbrokes about the data breach, “Daniel” decided to inform the press. Ciaran O'Brien, head of PR at Ladbrokes informed the press that they company is doing all they can to assist with the ICO’s enquiries and informed customers that “everything is being done to protect their personal information.” Any Ladbrokes customers with concerns should contact them by e-mailing care@ladbrokescasino.com or by phoning 0800 032 1133.
