Duelbits Crypto Casino Hacked for $7 Million, Goes Offline
Crypto casino Duelbits has gone offline after attackers drained approximately $7 million from its hot wallets across four blockchains.
The hack occurred on September 24, with the stolen assets being taken from wallets tied to Ethereum (ETH), BNB Chain, Tron, and Bitcoin. Most of the funds were converted into Ether and consolidated in a single Ethereum address holding about 2,234 ETH, valued at roughly $6 million at the time.
Duelbits co-founder Joe confirmed the hack, stating 'Confirming a ~$7M hack. Still investigating exactly what happened and how.'
The platform will remain offline until its hot wallets are refilled and the investigation is completed. Hot wallets stay connected to systems that approve blockchain transactions, making them easier to use than offline storage but more exposed to attacks.
