The company faced blackmail and threats after a data leak.
The major bookmaker 1win faced a serious leak of user data. According to the company's founder, the attackers managed to gain access to part of the database containing email addresses and phone numbers of about 100 million users.
The attack was preceded by a series of large-scale DDoS attacks, which were so powerful that even the DDoS protection provider could not cope with them. The first wave of attacks was followed by attempts to penetrate the company's infrastructure in various ways: sending viruses to employees to obtain passwords from servers, multiple attacks on the infrastructure, and successfully hacking one of the merchants.
Despite the active strengthening of the information security department, the attackers discovered and exploited an existing vulnerability in the system. The hackers demanded a ransom for the stolen data, initially asking for $ 1 million. During the negotiations, the amount increased to $ 15 million, with the conditions constantly changing.
"The blackmailers decided to release part of the database and begin information pressure to obtain a larger sum of money," the founder of 1win reported. According to him, the attackers use various methods of pressure through the media in order to cause reputational damage to the company.
The management of 1win emphasizes that at the moment the company's infrastructure is completely safe.
