Two gamblers spearhead class action against casino over hacking of private data
TORONTO — Two gamblers who allege their privacy was breached are spearheading a proposed class action against an Ontario casino whose databases were hacked.
In a notice of action, they also alleged Monday that Casino Rama, north of Toronto, unjustly enriched itself at the expense of the claimants.
In the allegations contained in the notice, Leonid Kaplan, of Barrie, Ont., says he provided casino staff with copies of his driver’s licence and credit card when he went there to gamble in September.
Kaplan says he received an email by the CEO of Casino Rama, John Drake, on November 10 with the subject line: “Unauthorized Access to Personal Information.”
