What do you expect from such a f**king mafia! Unbelievable really. The main thing is to keep shoving money into their mouths!
They're all scammers!
I won't let them get away with it that easily.
I'll join the class action suit.

Of course you don't want to make an admission.

The facts, on the other hand, are pretty clear.
There seems to be no way around legal action, e.g. in the form of a class action lawsuit.

The statement that could not identify any disclosure of data to third parties is particularly brazen and

Just because the security configurations on a company's website need to be adjusted does not mean that this is due to misconduct on the part of the company or that the company has violated laws or regulations.



That's more or less the answer I was expecting. The 1st paragraph is almost like my reply to Leo lol. I've never seen a company get involved in something like this from the very first email. It always goes through the legal process. Even when companies do something that they shouldn't have done, e.g. the price increase at Vodafone (even with current contracts).

The statement is not wrong in itself. No data was passed on. They were publicly accessible XD (just kidding),

Of course you have violated regulations. That's why the GGL admonished them ^^You should ask them a counter question XD

Edit: The hacker also analyzed the data (10% of the players make up the largest turnover). This means that she not only reported this "error", but also stole the data (she herself admitted to owning 200GB of data). This in turn means that the data has been passed on to third parties.

Which one, if you don't mind me asking? Or have you researched what options there are?

I haven't received an answer yet, but I find what they write and above all the reasoning completely beside the point and brazen.
I will join the class action suit.

They really don't seem to be aware of any guilt, which is why there was no compensation in the form of free spins or bonus money.

What do you want to do? I mean, except gamble at 5 sec/spin and 1€max bet

Paying out to other accounts doesn't work either. Totally pointless

It is now known where the hack came from. I classify it under CCC.

And these are not unauthorized third parties?


Who's to say that there weren't many more if there weren't adequate security precautions?

I would rather interpret that to mean that they know exactly that they f**ked up.

A direct admission of guilt is not to be expected, as this could possibly be invoked by other affected parties.
I strongly assume that they have sought support from a crisis communications agency and the relevant specialist lawyers anyway.

If at some point it becomes clear that a significant number of those affected are willing to sue, they may start sending out offers for relatively small amounts in order to avoid legal action.
For the sake of convenience, I will probably also join a class action, even if there is a Risk of being fobbed off with a pittance in the end.
At least you don't bear any personal financial risk if it comes to a court hearing.

Exactly! The data of 1 million users must have been publicly accessible for months! Anyone could have helped themselves to it...Who knows what kind of data is now being sold on the black market...

That's right. People want to play it down as much as possible. The less people are convinced that they can claim compensation, the better for them. Every company would do that.

I will also join a class action lawsuit. I just want to see if there is only one association or if other associations are willing to join.

Where there is no plaintiff, no judge, no company simply makes a voluntary payment in such a case should be clear to everyone.

This means that it will only work through a lawsuit and even then, it would not be surprising if the authorities, as is so often the case, were to side with the providers in this case, as they are making a lot of money.
