A cyber attack brought down the the National Lottery website last night, Camelot has admitted.
The website was down for more than an hour-and-a-half yesterday evening, due to a distributed denial of service (DDOS) attack – when hackers flooded the website with online traffic.
A Camelot spokesperson said: “Unfortunately, as experienced by many companies, The National Lottery website was subject to a DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) incident for around 90 minutes this evening (from around 6pm until 7.30pm).”
They added: “This affected players trying to buy tickets from our website and via our App, although players could still buy tickets from one of our 46,000 retailers. We would like to apologise to players for the inconvenience caused in this case.”
It is the second major cyber attack launched against the National Lottery in less than a year.
Last November it emerged that hackers managed to access information from 26,500 online lottery accounts.
