Edited by Steinar Vigdel Kolnes, Editor, Oslo
Whitearmor claims it stole data tied to 15.4 million Gamdom accounts and is demanding $15 million in bitcoin, while the crypto casino disputes the claimed database size.
Crypto gambling platform Gamdom is facing a demand for $15 million in bitcoin from cyber-extortion group Whitearmor, according to Bitcoin.com News.
The group alleges it obtained records linked to 15.4 million accounts. Gamdom challenges the size of the purported database, leaving the scope of the alleged data theft disputed.
The claim emerged less than two weeks after a separate attack on Gamdom’s hot wallet caused losses exceeding $3 million. The available report does not establish a connection between the wallet breach and the extortion demand.
