Why is nobody from Stake official accounts talking about this mega hack?! Where is Stunna or some other Stake guys?
Maybe manager of Stake campaign can talk with them and tell them to get back more activity in bitcointalk forum.
Better dont keep coins on gambling websites and exchanges guys, you see how easy is to lose millions in crypto.

Simple answer, October/November 2022 hack. All email addresses stolen. I got several promotion (from other sites) and scam attempt emails to my address which is only registered at stake, never used anywhere else.
Of course stake wouldn't tell us that.

That might explain why some users and some people that I know got phishing emails that were related to Stake. Do you have more information regarding this leak? And what do you mean by Stake would not tell the incident, does this one did not widely known and the team didn't acknowledge their security got penetrated?
They later on tweeted that both affected wallets are back online and fully operational again, they didn't say anything concerning what the outcome of their investigation is, and I personally do not think they are going to from this moment, and since non of their users lost money in the incident, I personally feel they owe the community no explanation of what happened.

I'm sure we're all eager to hear for an official announcement regarding how it happened. A matter of employee access controls failing, a software failure or something else? That's for sure a large amount to keep out of cold storage anyway.
EDIT: ~Still, begs the question what happened if it's something others can learn from.

The post-hack explanation surely might help to recover the trust issue from the customer. Also, it might help the community, especially within the cryptocurrency business to learn from this incident. I am also curious to learn and see why Stake was penetrated.

Scammers are pretty quick at taking advantage of situations as this to try to scam unsuspecting victims, but lets hope that with the warning already shared on this forum plus other places I believe, no one will fall victim to this rogues.

Nice find. After the announcement that there have been fake accounts that were imitating stake's account and that they're having a token launch, this is the next one. Whoever these people are are really riding the situation and don't even have the empathy to do what's necessary on these times when stake is dealing with a situation that they're already handling. For those people that are worried about such things, do not follow any other channels or social media accounts of stake but only the official one. This post is a complete scam. Don't be deceived by it.

Interesting that their choice of words was the "user funds are safe". I know for a fact that over over $20k of my funds were lost in the hack, as it's visible on the blockchain. Nonetheless they presumably have more than enough in cold storage to cover all user funds, and it seems like they're by and large going to be able to get away without even needing to refill the hot wallets.
Kudos to the team for their swift return to service!

It is best to report accounts in the name of stake. Issues spread on Twitter, the ease of using blue checkmarks, makes it easy for scammers to impersonate a team that will help. There has been confirmation from Stake that the user's money is safe and the affected wallets has been solved.
All services have resumed! Deposits & withdrawals are processing instantly for all currencies. We apologise for any inconvenience. 🙏

If there are still claiming to help about yesterday's incident, just report the account.
note, it's best if link you share put in #code or turn it off, so that there are no incidents of links being clicked and making the person who clicks being a victim of phishing.

That people just always wait for unfortunate incident happen in a famous site and this is an example on why we need to be cautious about spreading online since by seeking some help regarding on situation like this they might fall on more worse situation.
People should avoid on this site, also since stake announce that there's no site users fund is lost then provably that no one will get baited in this attempt.

What's mind-disturbing is Stake is pretending like everything is fine when nothing is fine, their tweet on Twitter is nonsense and they are receiving negative responses from their customers already.

This could be end for smaller casinos, but i think it's hard for people to grasp the size of stake and amount of volume that goes trough stake. What's mind-disturbing is Stake is pretending like everything is fine when nothing is fine, their tweet on Twitter is nonsense and they are receiving negative responses from their customers already.
-cut-
Just in comparison: Stake made around $2.6 billion in revenue in 2022. $40M is 1.5% from that. I am sure that they didn't even need to open their emergency fund for this
So it's not a problem when one puts things in a perpective.
Maybe if it's a small casino I'm sure the casino will go bankrupt and won't operate anymore, they probably don't know Stake that much or have never visited Stake, so I'm just the one laughing in the back when people discuss this hack like it's a big deal while Stake's side already said that all users' money is safe, as you said it is not worth it

On the topic of the $40 000 000 that were hacked from Stake.... guess who is going to pay for those losses. (Expect a crazy RTP for a while folks) 
I believe they've got kind of a money pillow for such case, like SAFU in Binance
Or they will just decrease budget for their promotions and that is it. Anyway, I sure that they are not totally newbies in crypto industry and would do their best to catch that guy who has got different kind of jackpot worth 41 millions The most important is that users did not lose their balances and withdrawals are open. That theft act is casinos headache, not users. Not losing the costumers fund is the most important thing there and for question who will pay for those losses.I guess that maybe a charge for being relax on their security and now they are waken up that no system is safe after all measures they do. Provably they might spend more to strengthen up their security and I guess the budget for marketing will decreased due to this incident.

I have been following information regarding this Stake hack and all I can say is those hackers are not small time hackers, they are professionals, the way they move the funds is mind blowing, they know what they are doing.
I think the North Korea hackers aka the Lazarus Group are back in business, this group have been behind series of hacks in crypto space this year and years back, this is just what I think about, but the truth still remains, we don't know who is truly responsible for this hack.
What's mind-disturbing is Stake is pretending like everything is fine when nothing is fine, their tweet on Twitter is nonsense and they are receiving negative responses from their customers already.
I am afraid that this will continue to be the major step back for crypto, as none hacks have been happening with Fiat like how it's been happening with crypto, it's disturbing, something that could set back crypto mass adoption.

As per their statement on X.com the attack happened on ETH/BSC hot wallet. Which I am assuming that are deposit of users. They do claim that user funds are secured which means users would get thier cryptos back from their reserved wallet. That is expected from a big online casino like them. Now, question is can they get those funds back from the hacker. In most cases these are inside job and the way they are again business as usual they might already know how to get those funds back.

Received a mail in spam stating small compensation bonus for the support and loyalty towards Stake. Saw the maintenance notification through Telegram Channel, by the time there were discussion on fake social accounts posting about Stake token/coin. It would be helpful if someone clarifies it. So that I can stay away or claim the small bonus.
User funds were not lost, so there is nothing for you to claim. I'm more interested in knowing how they managed to get a hold of your email in the first place.

There are people take advantage of situation then fake those emails so that either they can scam people or stole their details. So he or other should verify if the email they receive is legitimate and not a scam.
Its so important on times of crisis that they should always ask the legitimate support so that they will not get tricked by scammers. Also to good if there's no costumers funds lost in this incident since many feel some relief that their money is safe.

I think you and @Panjul are the ones who can reach at least more than 5000 since I know you are high roller & @Panjul are good player who can collect wagering with a small money.
As I said previously, I wagered less after the 1st monthly bonus on August because I lost both my VIP top monthly bonus as well as the monthly bonus quickly.
3 hours left for the 10m race and my position is now at 8400+
with around 100k wager. I wagered more than 50k in the first week of the race (exactly after the 1st monthly bonus) but I wagered less after I lost the bonus, proven by my currect total wager which is only 100k
It means that I wagered the other 50k in the last 3 weeks , It is simply because I dont want to force myself to wager just for the race.
Let's assume that you wagered $150 000 during this promotion and you got the last place. It should cost you a minimum of $1500+ to wager that amount, based on a conservative $100 for every $10 000 wagered.... (Do you think the prize will really be worth the money that you spend.. chasing that challenge?)
On the topic of the $40 000 000 that were hacked from Stake.... guess who is going to pay for those losses. (Expect a crazy RTP for a while folks)
There was a player who received their prize for the race and said he got $300 but lost alot more than that amount given 10 fold. His join date was Aug. 25th so approximately 12 days and have reached platinum II. They had mentioned they have wagered well over $250k during the month long race.
As for the RTP you have mentioned, that did happen. Right after the race ended I wagered my entire deposit of $725 within only 15 rounds on Stake Originals so within less than 5 minutes they had managed to drain my balance.
I had never seen dice and blackjack taken all hands for a loss. I had it set to 1.12x on dice and blackjack originals the dealer had 20 and blackjack 10 out of the 12 hands. The remaining 2 hands were a push.
