morning all, if anyone uses the racing post act now!!
Racingpost.com
security breach
Stringent new measures are currently being put in place to prevent a repeat of the security breach that has affected racingpost.com.
The website was the subject of a sophisticated, sustained and aggressive attack on Friday and Saturday, in which one of our databases was accessed and customer details were stolen.
Customer credit and debit card details are not stored on the site and have therefore not been accessed and are not at risk.
Usernames, first and last names, encrypted passwords and email and customer addresses were taken. As a consequence, customers have been advised by email that they should take the precaution of changing their password on other sites if it is the same one that they use for racingpost.com.
Customers who are unsure of their password should be aware these are encrypted and we are therefore unable to tell them what the password is. Our advice, if in doubt, is to change passwords on other sites as a precaution.
Customers who use R acing Post products to place bets can be assured all bets are placed directly with bookmakers and that we hold no details whatsoever in relation to their betting accounts. It remains perfectly safe to bet on our website and mobile and tablet products.
