Brightstar Data Breach Exposes Personal and Financial Information of Over 100,000 Individuals

Pittman, Dutton, Hellums, Bradley & Mann, P.C. is investigating a significant data breach involving Brightstar Lottery Group, which has impacted approximately 103,879 individuals. The breach may have exposed a range of sensitive personal and financial information belonging to employees, partners, and consumers.

What Happened?

On November 17, 2024, Brightstar Lottery Group and its parent company, IGT Group, discovered that an unauthorized third party had gained access to certain systems within their network. After launching a detailed forensic investigation, the company confirmed that files containing personal information were accessed and possibly exfiltrated.

Brightstar formally notified affected individuals on October 3, 2025, nearly a year after detecting the intrusion.

What Information Was Compromised In The Data Breach?

The review of the impacted data indicates that the following types of information may have been exposed:

• Full names
• Contact details (address, phone number, email)
• Dates of birth
• Driver’s license or government-issued ID numbers

• Financial account details
• Health and medical data

This data could allow criminals to commit various types of identity theft, including unauthorized financial transactions, fraudulent medical claims, or misuse of government benefits.
