Bitcoin.com and Crypto.news both report that cyber extortion group WhiteArmor is demanding $15 million in Bitcoin from Gamdom after claiming to have accessed 15.4 million user accounts. While both outlets confirm the ransom demand and the alleged breach size, they differ slightly in their coverage timing, with Crypto.news citing an October 26 date. Gamdom's dispute of the breach size is reported by Bitcoin.com but not explicitly mentioned by Crypto.news.
Crypto gambling platform Gamdom is facing a $15 million 
Bitcoin ransom demand from cyber extortion group WhiteArmor, which claims to have accessed 15.4 million user accounts. This incident comes less than two weeks after the platform suffered a separate hot-wallet attack resulting in a loss of over $3 million.
According to reports from Bitcoin.com and Crypto.news, WhiteArmor has threatened to release the stolen data if the ransom is not paid. The attackers have not provided evidence of the breach, but the threat has raised concerns about user data security in the crypto gambling sector.
Gamdom has disputed the claim that 15.4 million accounts were compromised, though specific details of their response have not been fully disclosed. The platform has not confirmed the exact number of affected users but acknowledges the extortion attempt.
This incident follows a pattern of increasing cyber threats against crypto platforms, particularly in the gambling sector. The ransom demand's timing, shortly after the hot-wallet attack, suggests a possible connection between the two incidents, though this has not been confirmed.
