Online gambling firm Betfair admitted it had not told its customers about major cyber attack where millions of credit card details were stolen 18 months ago.
More than 3.1 million account names with encrypted security questions, 2.9 million usernames, and nearly 90,000 account usernames with bank account details were stolen in an attack in March last year.
And the company admitted it did not discover it had been a victim of a cyber attack until two months after it happened when a server at its Malta data centre crashed.
