Has your favorite Online casino been out of service lately if so the chances are good that they are under A (Denial Of Service) Dos attack. In the past few weeks Online Casinos are being contacted by hackers demanding money or face their wrath of Dos attacks Some casinos have reported receiving the letters and almost immediately getting attacked leaving them helpless With no way to contact their players until they either move to a different server, upgrade their hacking security our pay up. So far most of the Casinos are refusing to pay the ransom but a few are paying just adding more fuel to the fire. This happening after last year-s attack by the US congress virtually banning the use of credit cards for online gaming transactions is all the casino industry needed. Online Casinos are resilient though. They will soon get a handle on this situation and online gambling will soon return to normal. Several dozen Casino owners have already decided to establish a "Reward Fund" for the discovery of the attackers identities. Detailed Data about the origin of the attacks and ransom demands is being prepared and will be posted worldwide on Hacker Boards
