Thousands of National Lottery players’ accounts have been accessed by hackers. Around 26,500 players accounts were accessed. A much smaller number fewer than 50 have had some activity take place within the account since it was accessed. Camelot has instigated a compulsory password reset on the accounts of the affected players. It seems likely that the hackers gained access to accounts because players were using the same usernames and passwords on other sites. I hope it will go further and encourage internet users to always use different passwords for different websites.”]
