I like PTC, although they do not have NY of Woodbine. Easy to navigate and great customer service. Rich Nilsen (formerly with BRIS) is now with them.

Would you rather have an account with Betfair?

Sure the authorities told them to withhold information from their clients. I have a bridge to sell them if they believe it.

Received my letter in the mail today that my account was breached...Typical legal-speak ass-covering Churchill corporate nonsense...Nothing they are offering me is of interest (I find credit freezes to be a hassle, not a help).
Still, in an odd way, this is preferable to cashing a signer at the racetrack and having to hand over my SSN to some mutuels cretin...Ugh...Talk about high security risk.

I am very concerned that the attack happened on August 3rd, but I was notified via letter on September 6th. Also, there is no mention of my bank info, but I have to assume that was compromised as well. I blame the bad guys much more than Twinspires, but I strongly believe they should have notified me immediately rather thn more than a full month after the hacking occurred. Inexcusable. Gotta get going...have to try to safeguard my identity.

Good one GT, and they can have my bills too.

Didn't they say it was a minority of customers? Sounds like many people got them here...

I have an idea the full story is not out yet .In addition, maybe they weren't able to determine what other accounts were involved. That to me is a distinct possibility.

The notice reads like a crock. The entire piece is vague. They aren't telling their customers a damn thing, they're only downplaying, and making arrangements with their choice of contractor in the event YOU have problems.
It should be all over Blood Horse and DRF's home pages.

I received my letter yesterday. I've never been on twinspires betting site but have downloaded files from brisnet for years. So it must be widespread. They're telling me ssn and email were compromised, nothing about credit card information. Is there something I should do?
