Vulnerabilities in gambling websites in past

[og kush420]

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?

I totally agree with you, and to add, I think hackers are one of the most patient and passionate beings in the field of profession, professional hackers are always so serious and determined, though their chosen career or profession isn't something to emulate(this is for the black hat hackers), but I always draw some encouragement from them, a serious hacker can spend months and sometimes, years trying to hack a site or platform, all they need is to find the loophole, ones that is found, they never give up until they figure out a way to use that loophole to thier own advantage.
Sometime some years back, I've tried learning how to hack but I lacked the patience and resources required, and to be sincere, I love their enthusiasm towards their job even though most part of the job is illegal.

It is always good to keep oneself safe from the possible troubles. Not to put all the eggs in one basket and always prepared for the worse. Hackers come with techniques to trap the innocent and in our culture is it said that if bad time comes even the smart people fall trap to the fraud. So we always pray to God to keep us away from bad people and bad times.

There are still some weaknesses in the gambling sites, but what can be done about them? There is a lot of talk about cheating and arbitrage betting. Perhaps rightly so, but what can be done about it? That hassle with table tennis and cams, that does not make sites happy. And then with corona you also had a lot of competitions that were manipulated by the bookies. There are too many matches to monitor all of that in time.

Weaknesses in gambling sites will increase and become the next target of hackers who want to take advantage of their bugs. If you don't want to experience bad things like what you have shown, you should choose a gambling site that has a good reputation so that it is hoped that no cheating will occur. Maybe the bookies can manipulate the results because we don't know 100%, but that will not happen at the recommended casinos because the casino really wants to provide comfort in playing gambling to its members. But if we talk about the vulnerabilities in gambling sites, it will depend on how the security team will secure their sites from hackers.

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.

Beautifully explained. I read it twice. Thank you for your detailed explanation. That is one of the reason I keep coming this forum to increase my knowledge and get to know apt answer of what the other member have asked about. Hacking no doubt has always got my attention. But knowing more about it excites me.

 wow - you really brought forth great reply also with the explanation.
Also the white hat hackers are contacted by the companies to help the regain the control of their website. How smart would they look doing the work. I wish I could meet some white hat hackers in real life too.

Maybe, you already know one, but not disclosing his identity. White hackers are everywhere. And I do commend them from not being tempted to screw-up vulnerable sites for their own interest. Usually, they will tap the company if they find vulnerabilities of the site that may possibly lose their vital info or even funds. Whereas, the bad hackers won't give you any warning, they will just empty your coffer if needed.

The rate at which hackers are dominating the online world is very alarming which there is need to reduce their effects  before  things get out of hands. Security had been the major concern of all most all the gambling platforms cause this is a vital expect which need to be protected by all miss or expect the attack of hackers and scammers. Although major efforts had always been put on making this thing works which is to prevent the activities of farmers, creating multiple accounts tobe entitled to more bonuses that can be withdrawn later.

As a business that involves big money then it would be just normal that you would really be focusing on security as a business owner because you dont like on getting hack and its true
that hackers are everywhere which they are just waiting for some opportunity to attack or exploit bugs on the site which causes for them to steal money or funds.
This doesnt only talks about the past but also possible present situations because nothing on this world is unhackable which means they should continue to strengthened it up
for them to avoid such problem.

I totally agree with you, and to add, I think hackers are one of the most patient and passionate beings in the field of profession, professional hackers are always so serious and determined, though their chosen career or profession isn't something to emulate(this is for the black hat hackers), but I always draw some encouragement from them, a serious hacker can spend months and sometimes, years trying to hack a site or platform, all they need is to find the loophole, ones that is found, they never give up until they figure out a way to use that loophole to thier own advantage.
Sometime some years back, I've tried learning how to hack but I lacked the patience and resources required, and to be sincere, I love their enthusiasm towards their job even though most part of the job is illegal.

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.

Actually, white hackers exist for a reason. As far as I know, white hackers' main purpose is to expose the vulnerability of the website for its own benefit. They hack those websites that are easy to infiltrate to let the developer and the client know that their system and level of security is fragile and can be easily messed up with if they won't do anything about to tighten the security. These white hat hackers do not really mean to harm, but all they want is to help so that the security and privacy would be improved and enhanced.

I believe they are far much different than any hackers which aim to steal or destroy assets. There are still many organizations and groups made up of white hat hackers and they show time to time whenever they see something vulnerable especially on those big sites.

I have read very informative material from the members in the forum. Can we also call white hat hackers ethical hackers as well?
What I understood is when an organization data is hacked they would call white hat hackers to revive their data.

Great info shared. But I will make my research on who are famous white hat hackers. But this is certainly right that they are smart and the know how to get a company and person out of trouble. Many celebrates contact the white hat hackers to get their account back from hackers and they search for ethical hackers.

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.

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

Here's some similar scenario but this one only talks about 35 BTC.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1340581.0

It was on Rollin.io which is already dead or down as of this moment.Nothing on this world is unhackable no matter how tough the security would be.

But in the case of the casino, once it's hacked that's the end of that casino, only big casinos offer refunds or protect their player's money compared to exchanges where they can do a refund and insured their trader's money, I don't think there's the same guarantee that they can offer that they will do a refund.

I think the main reason why casinos fail after a big hack is that they lose the trust of their customers, even if there was a big hack as long as a business still retained their customers somehow then a path to recovery exists, but many players when they see that their preferred casino has been hacked even if they were not affected they are going to be reluctant to play there anymore, which causes casinos to definitely close their doors.

There comes a time when people's interest changes and then the things which we popular at time become unpopular.
Time and tide waits for none. There comes the vulnerabilities which are not predicted and that sometimes help betray the trust of the players

Even in war there are many attacks like the cyber attack which helps to get the data of the other side and attack them - there comes the white hat hackers who play their part in saving banks and other organization from the damage made by the enemies.

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.

Other vulnerabilities involves are some of the social risks as well they are:
Getting to know about very personal information
Identity theft
credit card info at risk

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.

[BitcoinAccepted]

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.

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?
