From CalvinAyre.com:
Last week we reported in on a security breach at Paddy Power. The Irish gambling operator announced the breach after a database of 650K names, postal addresses, email addresses, phone numbers and account login information was discovered in the possession of a Canadian man. The Ontario Provincial Police have refused to name the man the media has dubbed the Paddy Power Hacker but Jason Ferguson has reached out to CalvinAyre.com to explain his side of this crazy story. Ferguson released the following statement to CalvinAyre.com.
To set the record straight Paddy Power and Leisure Gaming Group launched a civil suit against me in May and then in July, they executed a search and seizure order as they were under the assumption I had in my possession a copy of a paddy power database that was hacked and stolen in 2010.
I cooperated with the authorities and Paddy Power litigation. I provided all help they needed to clear my name as the perpetrator of their breach.
