In late July 2023, TSG Interactive US Services Limited, the company that operates the popular online poker site PokerStars in the United States, revealed that it had suffered a data breach between May 30 and 31, 2023, that may have exposed the names, addresses, and Social Security Numbers of more than 110,000 of its customers.
According to the company, it fell victim to a vulnerability in a third-party file transfer application it used called MOVEit Transfer. The vulnerability allowed intruders, believed to be a Russian ransomware cartel according to news reports, to access and extract PokerStars customer data stored on MOVEit Transfer servers.
Breach Victims Vulnerable But Have Legal Rights
If you received a notice that the PokerStars data breach potentially compromised your personal information or believe you are a possible victim of the PokerStars data breach because you once registered as a user on its platform, you may have the right to take legal action for compensation and other benefits.
Identity theft is a massive and persistent problem that threatens your privacy, reputation, and financial well-being.
Victims of data breaches like the one affecting PokerStars customers can have their finances and credit histories ruined and their reputations severely undermined when criminals use their information to commit fraud and steal from others. It can take a long time, lots of money, and endless patience to repair the damage, the full extent of which may not become known for years.
