Wow! Just got the following e-mail 3 minutes ago! Update to the above: OMG! This sounds very BAD!
Dear valued customer,
We would like to urgently warn players to beware of an email sent in the last few hours with the subject line “Important: You won 0.15 BTC,” offering you a bitcoin bonus from Cloudbet if you click on a link.
The email was sent by a SCAMMER pretending to be a representative of Cloudbet. It WAS NOT sent by us. DO NOT click on the link - it could possibly release malicious software that will compromise the security of your computer.
Please send the message to
support@cloudbet.com so that we may investigate.
This attack targets players running Windows in particular: If you do so, and have clicked on the link, you are at very high risk of having your security compromised by malware.
Even if you run a different operating system, we suggest that you exercise caution all the same. If you suspect that you have downloaded malware, we strongly recommend that you take immediate precautionary measures to protect your files and your data.
These steps include (but are not limited to):
1. Immediately disconnect your computer from your local networks
2. From another computer: Change passwords and 2FA credentials to key applications
3. Make sure you have 2-factor authentication on all online services that you use
4. Back up key data on to an external drive
5. Wipe/Format your hard drive, reinstall your operating system
6. Make sure you have an anti-virus application installed on your operating system
7. Scan all documents on the USB drive with your anti-virus application before you copy them back on to the computer
Our team of expert engineers is investigating this attack and working to prevent this scammer from disrupting other customers. We have reported the incident to our internet service provider.
We regret any inconvenience caused to you. Please let us know if we can help further at
support@cloudbet.com.
Regards - the Cloudbet team.
