DUNMORE – A former employee at Mount Airy Casino is accused of hacking into the casino’s main computer system.  It was revenge, police say, that motivated Leo Hornbaker III, 37, of Wyoming, in Luzerne County. 

Hornbeck, described as unhappy with the way he lost his job at the casino, allegedly using another worker’s name and password to get into the system. 

The intrusion, which happened over a six-day period in March, affected the so-called ‘Players Club Card’ system.  Once the casino caught on to what was happening, they responded quickly to deal with the intrusion.

Hornbeck faces felony charges including criminal use of a communication facility, computer trespass and disruption of service.  A preliminary hearing was held Thursday
