Vulnerabilities in gambling websites in past

[mm2543363580]

That's why there are organisation which is acquired and hire some white hat hackers the reason is they are the one who manage the security features of the platform so they can make a counter security for the intruders who would like to hack and breached the information of the system. Some of the common attack is the SQL injection

Also apart from all that is mentioned - online gambling may involve both technological and  social risks. Most of the time online gamblor don't realize that the online gaming pose another opportunity for their compromised privacy or the computer security as well. Online gambling can risk your computer and system on high exposure with who you interact.

Usually, online games or online gambling website have their own online security team that will monitor their site and prevents any outside attacks that want to infiltrate their site or database. As for gamers or gamblers, as long as they don't play on sites not recommended by many gamblers, they will be safe from the above. It is about how gambling sites and gamblers can protect themselves from intruders who want to hack them.

And then again there are hackers always looking for loopholes and finding way to intrude into the privacy and security of the company as well as the customer. Which is a security breach both for the gambling owners as well as for the players. What are the precautionary measures gamblers take while putting up their private info on the gambling sites?

As a user that had give out their private details into gambling platforms which is stored on a database then in case of some hack then these info's would most likely be leaked or be stole but i doubt that it would really be

that much important as for hackers considering that they would really be just coming after for the huge sum of money stored in hot wallets and its true that these places are the most common target by these hackers

because they could get big money which they could not find anywhere else aside from exchangers too thats why as a business or platform owner then be always be mindful about strengthening your security always.

Once a gambler submits their personal information on a gambling site or other site, then it will be the responsibility of that site. The security of personal data is no longer the gambler's responsibility but of the website.

Gamblers as users need to know which sites are responsible and can safeguard their members' personal information and ensure that the information is safe. Users should also be careful about submitting personal information to a site and only trust sites that can take good care of it.

Last night I was watching a video and in that video - Senator asked Mark Zuckerberg would he like to tell in which hotel he stayed last night and who he called during last week - upon which MZ said he don't want to share his private affair with public. On this senator said why then private info of the fb user.  I am not sure info once made public remains private anyways!

It supposed to be their responsibility since they are the one who's holding the data of their costumers. But unfortunately that is not the responsibility of other owners especially when their intention is to scam people. This is truly dangerous since our identity might get sold to anyone especially to those people who do crazy actions in internet.

Gamblers should know the gambling site they are visiting since by knowing the reputation its like they are securing their future for any possible disturbance that might happen to them.

I am not familiar with the exploits in the past but I think the gambling sites now are aware of those and probably improve now. We shouldn't only be focused on the exploit to the gambling site but also we should focus on exploit to players too like gambling sites advertising here that they don't ask KYC but if you are going to read their T&C they have a KYC policy.

Now that you've mentioned it, I agree there are also gambling sites that exploit their players by either stating they have it when they don't and vice-versa. Claiming to offer or not offer something when in fact you do is a kind of deceptive move from these sites. They benefit from it without the players knowing and they don't improve their statements to avoid frustrations and conflicts.

There are websites like these, and hopefully, a collective voice could do something about it because just like they they want to do unto them, they are abusing the players. I know it is the players duty to verify and double check. But it also the obligation of the gambling sites to provide accurate and not misleading offers.

All of sites does state about possible KYC if they do see something shady with your gambling activity or something in related but on overall if they dont ask out some verification on your registration and able to play
then i dont really see any problems or issues with that but be aware that they could possibly asked out if ever they do see something wrong which is all applicable in most casinos nowadays.
If they do like for their business to last then they should really mislead out their users because that would really be creating some bad impressions which would affect the business overall.

I think that is MZ's strategy to popularize FB because, with this feature, its members can tell where and what they are doing, while MZ itself doesn't want its activities to be disseminated to the public. Maybe that is because MZ is a public figure who wants to maintain his privacy. Meanwhile, FB users are mostly people who don't really care about privacy. We as users should have thought about that to sort out which ones can be distributed in public and which ones can't.

It supposed to be their responsibility since they are the one who's holding the data of their costumers. But unfortunately that is not the responsibility of other owners especially when their intention is to scam people. This is truly dangerous since our identity might get sold to anyone especially to those people who do crazy actions in internet.

Yes, that's how it should be. But we already know which sites can be responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of user data so we don't have to worry when doing KYC on those gambling sites. And as long as we can keep ourselves playing on gambling sites and only play on the gambling sites that already have a good reputation.

I have registered in many casinos so far, you want to say that it is better not to leave KYC in the Truth Sites? Well Intuyo that are the sites that are relatively new and demand Kyc of entrance, is it? In sites that have a lot of history those casinos is worth leaving the corresponding KYC, but I understand that it is better not to leave data.

There are friends who are recorded in casinos and show KYC that are not of them, then have proberals to withdraw money, because they demand other KYC tests, what to do Ant these cases? And I understand that if you do not fill Kyc in some places, they do not let withdraw the money that has been earned. The whole problem of this began when privacy and anonymity is no longer respected, this is an indirect message of governments through licenses that make casinos.

For me a kyc is the perfect excuse to get to demand KYC with protection arguments. This article Some things are debatable, but they show convincing points of view:

Companies looking to stay both in compliance and competitive are seeking advanced onboarding & identity verification solutions to…

Protect the company and users from bad actors and fraud
Continuously comply with the latest global regulations
Deliver a seamless, trustworthy, and user-friendly experience

We, as users, also cannot reject their policies because they can impose their will on their users. Even though we have done KYC with them, they can ask for other supporting data because, after all, they are related to the government. Exchanges are like that and because of that, exchanges and casinos also require their users to do KYC.

Now it's up to us where we want to do KYC but as long as we know what sites we do KYC on and how they can protect our data and not ask for other data.

You're right. After all, it's their business. Their business, their policies. As long as they are complying with the requirements requested by the government to start and continue operating, the terms and conditions they have set will be the ones to be followed. The players can't do anything about it if they want to play because they can't dictate the owners on the rules they have set. They can complain if it contains deception, but as long as it's clean, they can do nothing about it.

The casino or gambling website has the right to ask for supporting documents if needed in order to fully verify the player if they are mandating KYC. I believe this is always stated in TOS of reputable sites. In addition, they also assure and guarantee the players that they would not sell their information in any third party app to protect their privacy. If it is indicated, then there's little to worry about.

You are right, but mostly they will say that they have legal terms and say that they will not be sharing it with others. This is only for their own consumption, but still it manages to leak. This is really the problem now, but in order to signup and play on a gambling website, you really need to do KYC, and now I noticed that privacy is not that important to others since they don't care where they are sending their personal information. The only thing that we are like holding right now is really they terms and conditions about our data to make sure our information are safe

So actually, in this case, we can choose which gambling site we can use as a place to play gambling and we don't have to register on a gambling site that seems to have strict rules for its members. Once we register on their site and they have strict rules, we will be forced to follow those rules without being able to circumvent them.

So it's best before we decide to register on any gambling site, we can check the TOS and, if necessary, ask it directly through customer service or even send an email to the relevant team. One day, we will be asked to do KYC, so we better prepare ourselves and don't play on gambling sites that ask for KYC if we don't want to complete it. We have to choose the gambling site we really want after researching.

There are many white hat hackers, after all what better way to learn how to secure a website than by trying to break into it? The difference is that white hat hackers instead of gaining illegal access and stealing what they can they could ask for a bounty in the case they find a critical vulnerability for the website, now without a doubt it is a really difficult profession as the level of skill and knowledge needed to make any money as a white hat hacker is huge, but it is worth it, as bounties can easily reach five or even six figures.

The job of a white hat hacker is to exposed to their client all of the noticed loopholes/vulnerabilities of the system. They break the system so they can implement better security for the system, it is also a process for securing a system/website.
I am not sure if white hat hackers are exactly the same with bounty hunters, but I guess they are not though they are very related to each other.

Is this process called ethical hacking as well? What is the difference between white hat hackers and the hackers? Can someone enlighten me what kind of hacking is legal and what is not. Hacking is the process of getting into someone region without permission so what is white hat hacking and hacking?

There are two main differences between regular hackers and ethical or white hat hackers, the first one is the intent, hackers trying to find vulnerabilities in a system do so in order to gain something from it, whether that is information or money is irrelevant to the discussion at hand, while white hat hackers do so in order to help to improve the security of the company behind that website, the second difference is the permission, for example Facebook has been hacked many times in the past and as such their users have lost their privacy, information and money in the process, however an ethical hacker participates in bounty programs offered by Facebook and as such they have permission to try to break into their website, report if they find something and receive a bounty reward for their efforts.

What I will say here is that you have explained it very nicely here, but I sincerely thank you for my detailed explanation of what I have read here.  One of the reasons I keep coming to this forum is that hacking is always the point of view, but it excites me about it and I like to know it.

I never believed that they share our data and we start getting the ads dependent on our likes and interest. I noticed that real soon that I get the ads depended on likes and interest. For the moment I have deactivated my fb and insta accounts. To have some peace of mind.

If they do like for their business to last then they should really mislead out their users because that would really be creating some bad impressions which would affect the business overall.

However, it was still the option of the gamblers to decide to give their personal information or just leave the site. Upon giving their KYC, they are aware of the situation and even trust the site developers/owner to take responsibility and assure safety. But if we are doubted about the site, this is never our option, we shouldn't compromise our identity.

And like in business, no one will buy your services if that is questionable and unreliable.

Well you cannot really escape from the world of targeted advertising, no matter where you go in this world. Even in nature there are examples of advertisement. Or at least a kind of advertisement. A good smelling fruit is appealing to animals, animals eat the fruit, poop out the seeds. Their poop becomes the seedlings fertilizer. So obviously this is a good trade.


But as far as the human world goes: I think advertisement is also good but sometimes we overdo it. We go too far. We start annoying people.

Thats the worst part. The annoyance from bad advertising practices.

Valid point as beautiful stated - we cannot escape from the world of advertising but to much adds are annoying that is why a serious player would go an ad free site. As I am getting older - I think I am loosing patience too and I would rather prefer distraction free things.

You are very right on spot with a wonderful explanation that a good smelling fruit is appealing and the poop become fertilizer. So both the RTP and ads work for the gambling side. But then again you stated it right that too much of everything is bad.
