Several reports say the extortion group Whitearmor demanded $15 million in bitcoin after claiming to have 15,420,003 Gamdom customer records. The demand surfaced Oct. 26, but Gamdom disputes the claimed database size, and neither the full database nor its scale has been independently verified. A reported check of one user’s record does not establish that 15.4 million accounts were compromised. No ransom payment has been publicly confirmed.
Gamdom separately acknowledged losing more than $3 million in an Oct. 13 attack on its cryptocurrency wallets. It later acknowledged possible exposure of usernames, email addresses and gambling activity, while maintaining that identity verification documents were unaffected.
