Stake: Leader in Crypto Casinos Suffers Massive Security Breach
Stake, the leading crypto casino in the market, has fallen victim to a major security breach. Hackers managed to drain approximately $40 million from multiple blockchain networks through what is known as a ‘private key leak.’ In the volatile landscape of the crypto market, such colossal hacks sound the alarm bells, prompting industry players to strengthen their security systems.

According to initial reports, the hack appears to have materialized through a significant fund exfiltration on the Ethereum network. Cyber experts have detailed that a staggering $16 million was siphoned off from this network. Collaborating this data, blockchain detective ZachXBT has further revealed that an additional $25.6 million was lost on the Polygon and Binance Smart Chain networks.

It appears that the hackers converted the stolen funds into ether (ETH) before dispersing them across multiple wallets. Despite this significant breach, Stake’s compromised wallet still reportedly holds assets amounting to $340,000 in ETH and $2.1 million in various altcoins, according to Etherscan data.
Stake, an Australian powerhouse in the crypto gaming arena, which amassed a staggering $2.6 billion in revenue in 2022, had to temporarily suspend transactions on its platform before resuming normal operations.
