Hacked again, Caesars Entertainment to Pay $15 Million Ransom
In a distressing turn of events, Caesars Entertainment, a prominent gaming company, has fallen prey to a cyber-attack. According to a recent report from Bloomberg, the perpetrators demanded a hefty sum of $30 million, and the company ultimately acquiesced, paying out half of that amount. This alarming breach was disclosed by two individuals with knowledge of the incident who shared the information with the news agency.
The revelation of this multimillion-dollar ransom payment surfaced on Wednesday, casting a shadow over the situation. The attack has been attributed to the Scattered Spider group, also recognized as UNC3944. The hackers initially infiltrated a third-party IT vendor associated with the casino before gaining access to Caesars' network.
Remarkably, the occurrence remained concealed from the public eye until Bloomberg published an article, shedding light on the hack and the ransom demand. Subsequent to this exposé, the company reluctantly confirmed that customer data had indeed been pilfered. Caesars Entertainment asserted that rigorous measures were implemented to ensure the deletion of the purloined data by the cybercriminals.

Our Conclusion
It is obvious that we would have no pity against the gambling institution. They get the money through greed and they simply deceive the players with low RTP on the daily basis.
NancyTheBully damn, I got depressed after losing at Stake. I believed in this crap(((
BrianTheBully Haha, another "exposé" article. Have you considered that casinos are a business? Of course, they'll regulate RTP. Don’t like it – don’t play.
ruthgarcia3h Thanks for the info!
susanwilliams2d Cool article! I've been playing in crypto casinos for a long time and I can confirm - withdrawals are instant, no hassle with documents.
StevenTheGenius It's sad to see how far Microgaming has fallen. I remember when they were the gold standard in online slots. Now, they’re barely on anyone’s radar.
JeffTheJoyful Well, this is just unreal! 240k in one spin, still in shock
DavidTheUnique Played Mummy Megaways is a really cool theme! I was especially pleased with the mechanics with spirits, when you collect them and activate special spins . I got stuck for 2 hours, and ended up with a plus of 15k
JasonTheDynamic Damn, I'm so pissed! I lost 30k on Stake because of these "honest" streamers. I thought that since she wins all the time, I could too. But in fact, it's a total drain! Don't fall for these fake wins, people!
HarrisJennifer3 I lost a ton of money there... Now I understand why - those jerks were just tweaking the settings. And I thought I was just unlucky.
StevenTheSpirited Fuck these live casinos! Regular slots are more reliable, at least you know that a robot is having you, and not some jerk in a bow tie.
CrazyDaniel Got them! Betiton, as always, their games are rigged. Feels like every spin is a direct path to losing. Don’t fall for their promos, folks.
deborahturner7r Finally, someone is taking action! Gambling ads are everywhere, and it’s about time we put a stop to this targeting of young people. Protecting youth should be the priority.
thomasjones0q Glad to hear this! 94% RTP means we still have a decent chance at winning. Hope they keep it this way for as long as possible!
MaryTheSerene Man, this is disappointing. Snoop used to be about the music, not pushing gambling onto people. Guess everyone’s got a price these days!
JosephMark You have to come up with something like that. Although after reading the article I felt a bit sad... Maybe poker would be better?
