In a major development in the Karnataka Bitcoin scam case, the Special Investigation Team (SIT) has decided to reopen its probe into the 2018 hacking of a popular poker gaming site in the state. The decision comes after new evidence has come to light suggesting that the hacking may have been linked to the larger Bitcoin scam that took place in Karnataka in 2018.
The hacking of the poker gaming site, which occurred in July 2018, resulted in the theft of millions of dollars worth of cryptocurrencies from the site’s users. At the time, it was believed that the hackers had gained access to the site’s servers through a sophisticated cyberattack.
However, new evidence has emerged suggesting that the hacking may have been part of a larger scheme to steal Bitcoins from unsuspecting investors. The SIT, which was initially formed to investigate the Bitcoin scam, has now decided to reopen its probe into the hacking of the poker gaming site in light of this new information.
A senior official from the SIT, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, revealed that they had received a tip-off from a whistleblower who claimed to have information linking the hacking of the poker gaming site to the larger Bitcoin scam that rocked Karnataka in 2018. The whistleblower reportedly provided the SIT with detailed information about the individuals involved in the hacking and their connections to the Bitcoin scam.
The SIT has now launched a fresh investigation into the hacking of the poker gaming site, which will involve interviewing witnesses, analyzing digital evidence, and conducting raids on the homes and offices of suspected hackers. The team is also working closely with cybercrime experts to track down the stolen Bitcoins and identify the individuals responsible for the hacking.
The reopening of the probe into the hacking of the poker gaming site has sent shockwaves through the cryptocurrency community in Karnataka, with many investors expressing concern about the security of their digital assets. The SIT has assured the public that they are working diligently to bring the perpetrators to justice and recover the stolen Bitcoins.
As the investigation unfolds, more details are expected to emerge about the intricate web of deceit and criminal activity that may have been behind the hacking of the poker gaming site. The SIT is urging anyone with information about the case to come forward and assist with their investigation, promising anonymity and protection for whistleblowers.
The Karnataka Bitcoin scam case continues to unravel, as the SIT delves deeper into the murky world of cybercrime and cryptocurrency theft. With the reopening of the probe into the hacking of the poker gaming site, the SIT is determined to uncover the truth and hold accountable those responsible for one of the largest Bitcoin scams in the state’s history.
