I worked at Betfair.com, a British gambling company that received two Queens Award for Enterprise, it operates the world only decent sports betting exchange. We lost all of our customer's credit card details and didn't tell them. Our exchange was broken by a rogue programmer who managed to bypass all the account balance checks and bet millions on a horse race a while ago. We intentionally, illegally misled the Maltese gambling regulator about the nature of the gaming products we ran from there and profited massively from it, to the tune of £20m a year to the detriment of customers.

The horse thing was in the betting industry news, the cause wasn't though.
to be fair, he wasn't trying to circumvent the system, his bot went mental and found a 1-in-a-100000000000000 weakness in the exchange. the whole thing was overblown and made worse by the farcical way the company dealt with it.
