Havant Borough Community Lottery is run on behalf of Havant Borough Council by Gatherwell Limited (Gatherwell), who are a large, experienced and regulated lottery manager.
On Friday 1 December, Gatherwell were informed that a data breach had taken place. This impacted customers who had signed up for direct debit services on or before 8 November 2023. We now know that this breach was caused by a cyber attack against a third party organisation, London & Zurich (L&Z), which was appointed by Gatherwell to handle direct debit collections. Gatherwell’s lottery system was not impacted by the cyber attack.
If you do not pay for your lottery entries by Direct Debit, this data breach does not impact you.
