Gamdom Faces $15M Bitcoin Ransom After Alleged Data Breach

Gamdom faces a $15 million Bitcoin ransom demand from the cyber extortion group WhiteArmor, which claims it accessed 15,420,003 user accounts. WhiteArmor published about 100 sample records, with at least one reportedly matching a real user, but the full breach claim and the group’s estimate of more than $1 billion in account-related value have not been independently verified. Gamdom founder Felix Römer disputes the alleged scale, saying only a few hundred accounts may have been affected. He said usernames, email addresses and gambling activity may have been exposed, but identity verification documents were not affected. No ransom payment has been reported. The allegation follows a separate Gamdom hot-wallet exploit on 13 October. The platform estimated losses at more than $3 million, while on-chain analysts put them at about $4.2 million. The alleged data breach may expose users to phishing and social engineering, adding to scrutiny of Gamdom’s crypto casino security. The scale of the breach and any connection to the wallet hack remain unclear; the incidents do not currently indicate a wider compromise of crypto services.
