Curaçao regulator hacked: Rollbit & Stake licence data at risk
Rollbit, 1xBet & Stake hold Curaçao licences as investigators probe how much data was taken.
The hit
Curaçao Gaming Authority’s online licensing portal was breached by unauthorised attackers, the regulator confirmed, according to The Currency Analytics. The portal holds photo IDs, personal records & operator details for crypto casino licensees. The CGA said it will notify affected parties if its investigation confirms their data was directly accessed.
Why it matters
Exposed IDs & operator records could fuel extortion or fraud against licensees, while trust in Curaçao’s licensing regime — described by The Currency Analytics as a ‘lax licensing hub’ — takes another hit.
The record
| Rollbit licence revocation | Revoked earlier this month by the CGA; link to the breach unconfirmed (The Currency Analytics) |
|---|---|
| Precedent breach | Malta Gaming Authority hacked in 2020, exposing registered entities’ data |
| Scale of breach | Number of affected operators not disclosed by the CGA |
What happens next
Watch for other regulators quietly tightening their own cybersecurity after Curaçao’s breach, according to The Currency Analytics.
