MANILA, Philippines — The national database containing 500,000 names barred from playing in casinos has been hacked, Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. (PAGCOR) chairman and CEO Alejandro Tengco revealed yesterday.

Initially though it was reported that it's the players in every casino.
But now they said that those hack accounts are those who have been ban or requested for self-inclusion.
However, this is still a hack no matter how they try to cover what kind of data has been lost to the criminals.
I don't know who should be ban who in this regard, the casinos are not banning their players, the government are taking steps in placing ban, what should we call these, now as we may have it again, it was said that the data base for these names have been hacked, what is really happening here? are there insiders leaking information or do some people have a serious issue regarding some of the names enlisted among those being banned to have declared the data base hacked, lots are going underneath that people don't seem to understand them.
