Cybercriminals hit jackpot as 500k+ Ohio Lottery lovers lose out on their personal data

More than half a million gamblers with a penchant for powerballs will be receiving some fairly unwelcome news very soon, if not already, as cybercriminals have made off with their personal data.

Ohio Lottery said there's no evidence to suggest that the stolen and subsequently leaked data has been misused by any malicious parties, but has offered all of those affected the standard 12 months of credit monitoring and ID theft protection. The most up-to-date description of its data haul represents a significant downgrade from the more than 3 million records it claimed to have stolen at the time, which allegedly also included home addresses and the sums won from tickets.
