Gamdom has not fully recovered from the multi-million-dollar hot wallet theft, and is now facing a new security crisis. Cyber ransomware group Whitearmor claims to hold a database containing 15,420,003 customer accounts, demanding a $15 million Bitcoin ransom to prevent the data from being publicly disclosed. Whitearmor published Gamdom-related information on its ransomware site, asserting access to 146 data fields per account. The group also released a roughly 437KB JSON sample file with around 100 records as evidence of its possession of the data. According to reports, attackers exploited an outdated internal machine account to carry out the attack. The account’s credentials were never rotated, so despite being long-established, it still retained administrator privileges.

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is working to boost the release frequency of the closely watched Commitment of Traders (COT) Report to twice weekly by the end of this year. Currently published every Friday, the report details buying and selling activity in the commodities market, categorizing participants into hedge funds, other asset management firms, and commercial trading entities. Producers rely on the report to inform their hedging decisions, while speculators use the data to monitor shifts in market positions and whether related bets are overly concentrated. CFTC Chair Michael Selig stated last week at an agricultural commodities futures conference held in Kansas that the plan to increase the report’s release frequency stems from demands from the agricultural community.
