Interesting that their choice of words was the "user funds are safe". I know for a fact that over over $20k of my funds were lost in the hack, as it's visible on the blockchain. Nonetheless they presumably have more than enough in cold storage to cover all user funds, and it seems like they're by and large going to be able to get away without even needing to refill the hot wallets.

Kudos to the team for their swift return to service!

Nice find. After the announcement that there have been fake accounts that were imitating stake's account and that they're having a token launch, this is the next one. Whoever these people are are really riding the situation and don't even have the empathy to do what's necessary on these times when stake is dealing with a situation that they're already handling. For those people that are worried about such things, do not follow any other channels or social media accounts of stake but only the official one.

I saw this post on twitter too, in-fact, they even tagged me, the post have been up since yesterday, I was actually going to post about this on this forum that same yesterday immediately I was tagged, at least, to warn users but I was pretty busy, just returning from work today and just made a post about this same find on the forum, though, I posted about it in the scam and accusation board, you and every one else can check it out one https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5465752.new#new ..

Scammers are pretty quick at taking advantage of situations as this to try to scam unsuspecting victims, but lets hope that with the warning already shared on this forum plus other places I believe, no one will fall victim to this rogues.

I'm sure we're all eager to hear for an official announcement regarding how it happened. A matter of employee access controls failing, a software failure or something else? That's for sure a large amount to keep out of cold storage anyway.

EDIT: ~Still, begs the question what happened if it's something others can learn from.

The post-hack explanation surely might help to recover the trust issue from the customer. Also, it might help the community, especially within the cryptocurrency business to learn from this incident. I am also curious to learn and see why Stake was penetrated.

Simple answer, October/November 2022 hack. All email addresses stolen. I got several promotion (from other sites) and scam attempt emails to my address which is only registered at stake, never used anywhere else.

Of course stake wouldn't tell us that.

That might explain why some users and some people that I know got phishing emails that were related to Stake. Do you have more information regarding this leak? And what do you mean by Stake would not tell the incident, does this one did not widely known and the team didn't acknowledge their security got penetrated?

Well, if you ask me, I don't think stake is going to make or come up with public explanation of what really happened that lead to the supposed or alleged hack, several online sources have the news of the hack, but checking Stake official account on X, they(stake) have not mentioned anything patterning to the hack, or even made any tweet refuting or acknowledging the claim, they only made mention of experiencing authorized transactions being made from their ETH/BSC hot wallets, and only said they are investing the issue, also mentioned that funds are safe.

They later on tweeted that both affected wallets are back online and fully operational again, they didn't say anything concerning what the outcome of their investigation is, and I personally do not think they are going to from this moment, and since non of their users lost money in the incident, I personally feel they owe the community no explanation of what happened.

Done, thank you very much for pointing that out to me.

Why is nobody from Stake official accounts talking about this mega hack?! Where is Stunna or some other Stake guys?
Maybe manager of Stake campaign can talk with them and tell them to get back more activity in bitcointalk forum.
Better dont keep coins on gambling websites and exchanges guys, you see how easy is to lose millions in crypto.

I believe stake will make public announcement about the hack like they have already done on X and with the way things are we should be fine with that and respect their privacy if they decide not to make an official forum announcement about the hack since no customer money was stolen and the halted features like withdrawal on the Binance smart chain have been restored, so for that its all good and stake can take the time to properly audit and put measures in place that will protect their wallet from future attacks.
We will only panic if the unauthorized withdrawal was done on the customer's balance, but since it is a hot wallet it makes it easy for the stake team to quickly put things in order and move on as if nothing happened or decide not to make noise about it.

AFAIK, all email addresses weren't stolen for the Stake sendgrid email leak. I haven't received any spam or phishing email related to Stake from unknown sources on my Stake account email address. Some other forum members had also confirmed that they didn't receive any phishing email after the sendgrid email leak.

They handle the recent hacking very well but they need to announce this incident on their public channels and not only on X to formalize all things and make people know about recent updates. But guess their supporters already share the news here so I guess they already settle with current situation and they focus to investigate on the case where hacker stole some balance to their own wallet. This is unfortunate but since it already happen best for stake to secure their site more avoid the same issue in future.

What's mind-disturbing is Stake is pretending like everything is fine when nothing is fine, their tweet on Twitter is nonsense and they are receiving negative responses from their customers already.
-cut-

This could be end for smaller casinos, but i think it's hard for people to grasp the size of stake and amount of volume that goes trough stake.

Just in comparison: Stake made around $2.6 billion in revenue in 2022. $40M is 1.5% from that. I am sure that they didn't even need to open their emergency fund for this

So it's not a problem when one puts things in a perpective.

I think it's a very competitive business so to see a big casino having hacking problems and losing money will make a lot of people working from other casinos come to discuss the problem as if it's a very big case, even though it has been explained that all funds are safe and I think indeed people who come to this thread discuss that they don't see how Stake spends money on promotions and campaigns alone maybe very big, so why are they getting busy here because of this problem, I'm sure this problem will be the right material to drop Stakes. but that's in vain

Maybe if it's a small casino I'm sure the casino will go bankrupt and won't operate anymore, they probably don't know Stake that much or have never visited Stake, so I'm just the one laughing in the back when people discuss this hack like it's a big deal while Stake's side already said that all users' money is safe, as you said it is not worth it  

@piebeyb I was reading my daily news sites when I saw this news there and after confirming I was shocked but equally happy that Stake decided to immediately open the withdrawals and continue business like usual which proves what a solid team they have in the background. Furthermore I see nothing wrong with their tweet because when they have the funds to run their business as usual why panic and at this stage I feel that we should do our best to support them and pray that they recover their fund’s asap.

[ryzaadit]

I just back from vacation and saw these happening.

I'm not to worried about the the loss incident since this is not wipe out any user account balance. The lost only 40M$ which mean, while they can pay 100M$/person for deal (Kicks) 40 it's just a small from my perspective.

The bankroll are still safe, just need to discovery where is the leak bug/breach.

[tygeade]

I think Eddie gave a short explanation a while ago... where he said that a base amount are paid per VIP rank and then also based on what you played and how much you played. The Stake original games count the least towards the bonus and then the 3rd party slots and then the Sports betting counting the most.

They are not giving the exact formula, because they do not want players only to play the games that count the most towards wagering. (It is structured in a way that if you lose more, you get a bigger bonus.... but just slightly) 

There is this estimate on how it happens that much is known but there is no known formula, that is the tough one. Like you do not know how much of it is betting this month, and how much is the VIP rank and what happens if you bet this much but then stop etc etc. Basically we do not have the exact amounts. Nobody knows how much they are going to get, and there isn't a way to make that calculation beforehand while you are gambling.

This results with you ending up with just some estimate if you could. I believe that we are going to see something much better on the long run and it should be important to just move on and not really care what will be the income and just hope that it goes as well as hoped for in the end.

That one is to prove that no funds of users got affected by recent hacking and its good since it can erase the fear of people thinking that they might also be included to the recent attack happened to them. But since now the withdrawals are open I guess its time for users to go back on their normal activity since for sure Stake could easily recover with their recent losses since they still have a lot of money to fund their casino and to use for marketing.

Seem like the scammer is not only send a grid message to a leaked address email.

But they actually target followers from stake as well, I suggested everyone who is quite active in twitter (X) and your account follow (Stake.com) twitter. You will getting tags by some random account to a scammer twitter stake fake.
- Refund
- Seeling stake token

Beware, they tag you on twitter based on the follower stake list.

I followed X's account but luckily I'm not that active in twitter and I turn my X application's notification off so I will only open X whenever I wish and I will not be distracted with any notification.
Another luck is that I just opened my X account and I do not find any tag related to the scam, perhaps because all the scammer's account has been reported and removed by X.
It is obvious that we should always careful with social media and any other online places, too many scammers out there who want to steal money.
We should responsible for ourselves by avoiding something that looks suspicious or too good to be true and not by clicking unknown link in the social media.

My Twitter got tagged.

But not from directly a fake Twitter account, the tag using a normal account to the scammer account. It's not just (Stake) currently I just got for (ROO) token fake sale on Roobet-Casino. They scraped the follower data and botting the tag to fake twitter.

I think, this case is not just on (Stake) as well but every famous casino. I believe soon we are gonna to see more like from (Duelbits) and other.

Yes, yesterday I got that my account was flagged for claiming a refund from fake Stake Twitter, unfortunately I have blocked them, actually there are lots of fraudsters like that everywhere on x.com, not just casinos but other airdrop projects are also there, what's great is that they spend money on get the same blue and gold tick as the original account, but I'm sure people who are smart enough to know what they should do.

I think they will never succeed but even so it must be reminded that it is best to pay attention to the x.com username which indicates whether it belongs to the official Stake or not, because I can just see from the number of followers, if it's only a few it means it's not the original x.com Stake account but fake one. I thought I was the only one who often got this sign, but it turns out there were a lot of them
