Duelbits Stung for $7M as Hackers Drain Hot Wallets Across Four Blockchains

Duelbits, an online casino platform, has been hacked, resulting in a loss of approximately $7 million from its hot wallets. The breach occurred across four blockchains - Ethereum (ETH), BNB Chain, Tron, and Bitcoin (BTC). According to Scam Sniffer, the suspicious transfers were first flagged on Ethereum, with most of the stolen assets later converted to ETH.

The hackers managed to drain about 2,234 ETH, worth around $6 million at the time. The speed and pattern of the transfers suggested a possible private-key compromise, but Duelbits has not confirmed this theory. The platform's co-founder, Joe, stated that user funds remain safe while the site is offline.

This incident marks the second hot-wallet theft to affect Duelbits in recent history. In February 2024, an attacker exploited a security vulnerability and drained about $4.6 million from the platform's wallets.
