Stake.com, the world’s largest cryptocurrency-oriented casino platform, has reportedly been hacked for as much as $41.3 million worth of digital assets. Reports are currently pointing to a potential key-leak as the cause behind the security breach.
First highlighted by @CyversAlerts on X (Twitter), a suspicious, Ethereum-native transfer of approximately $16 million worth of ETH, USDC, USDT, and DAI, was made from Stake.com’s Ethereum address to a separate wallet address, which then converted the assets into ETH.
Adding to the saga, @ZachXBT highlighted that a further $25.6 million worth of cryptocurrency had been drained from the platform, on Polygon and BNB Chain.
