New information is coming to light about the case against a man from Luzerne County accused of hacking into a casino's computer system to get revenge.

Investigators call Leo Hornbaker, III a computer whiz who used his smarts to try to get back at the Mount Airy Casino

According to court papers, Hornbaker was a former employee at Mount Airy Casino Resort near Mount Pocono. He wasn't happy with how he left his job and that's why, police said, he took his revenge.

"He VPN-ed, which was accessed from a remote location which was determined to be his residence, into a server, a secure server at the casino at Mount Airy," explained Pennsylvania State Police Corporal Derek Fozard.

Hornbaker faces felony charges for hacking into the casino's computer system and disrupting player and access cards used for gambling.

"I know that when they realized they had a problem they were jumping through hoops to get things back up. The casino did the best they could to get it back up and running," Corporal Fozard added.

State police said Hornbaker admitted to the crime saying, "He did this because he wanted the casino to see they still needed him."

Neither Hornbaker or his attorney wanted to comment, except to say they are hoping to work out a deal with prosecutors in this case by next month.

"We should have this matter hopefully resolved by then," said Fozard.

Calls made to Mount Airy Casino Resort for a comment about this case were not returned.
