How To Play Safely, Following Singapore’s and Other High Profile Casino Data Breaches

A major consideration of customers of both land-based casinos and internet gambling sites when deciding where to spend their hard-earned money is whether or not their personal and financial information will be secure. In 2023, a series of highly publicized cyberattacks on casinos, most notably casino giants MGM Resorts International and Caesars Entertainment followed by a data security incident at the Marina Bay Sands casino and hotel in Singapore, brought the issue of data breaches to the forefront.

Located in Singapore’s Marina Bay waterfront, the Las Vegas Sands-owned Marina Bay Sands said in a statement after the intrusion that a cyberattack on October 19 and 20th saw hackers break into the company’s systems exposing the personal data of some 665,…

MGM Resorts International abandons Entain takeover pursuit

American casino operator MGM Resorts International has reportedly announced that its campaign to acquire Entain has come to an end after investors in the prominent iGaming and sportsbook firm rejected its latest takeover offer.

According to a Tuesday report from the Bloomberg news service, the Las Vegas-headquartered firm behind venues including the Borgata Hotel Casino and Spa, MGM Grand Las Vegas and Empire City Casino had its $11.1 billion attempt to buy the British operator of such iGaming brands as Bwin, Ladbrokes, PartyPoker and SportingBet rejected a little over two weeks ago. This rebuff purportedly came amid investor concern that the proposition was undervaluing the London-listed company formerly known as GVC Holdings by as much as 7%.

A GPU datacentre company agreed to buy a cannabis business last month in what could be described as a new joint venture-

In a move that may bring new meaning to the term “cloud-computing”, HyperScale Nexus Holding Corp, a business centred around providing Nvidia H100 GPUs for AI and HPC markets, entered into an agreement to acquire the Colorado based American Cannabis Company inc last month. The company describes itself as providing industry specific advisory and consulting services, manufacture of cultivation products, and facilities for cannabis startups.

HyperScale Nexus meanwhile provides “unparalleled cloud services, managed hosting and professional services” with their current stock of 30,000 leased Nvidia H100 chipsets, although quite what that’s got to do with the acquisition of the American Cannabis Company remains hazy. 

All that being said, it’s not the first time we’ve seen a …

Denuvo opens its own Discord server to rehabilitate its image, has to shut it down 2 days later after players flood in to bully it

You know, were I less committed to the noble crusade of videogame journalism, I’d say there’s money to be made in a job where you gently cajole widely reviled people and institutions away from any interaction with the public. I bet you could make six figures just telling loathed organisations the real-life equivalent of ‘No, they’re saying Boo-urns.’

Today’s despised company that bafflingly decided to open the door up to unmediated public engagement? Denuvo. Yep, the DRM software that the whole internet is perpetually angry about (and fair enough, at least some of the time) decided that it should clear the air with consumers by opening up its own Discord (via TechRaptor) where curious onlookers could come and ask it questions about DRM tech. There are FAQs about how Denuvo funct…

The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D might seal Arrow Lake’s fate unless Intel cuts prices to compete with the 9000-series

(Image credit: Jacob Fox)

This week I’ve been: Hardware nerd by day, philosopher by night, as I’ve been rushing to get my Ph.D. thesis finished for its fast-approaching deadline. Oh, and refreshing Amazon pages for some peripherals and other doodads I’m on the lookout for, ever-hopeful and ever-disappointed by UK deal prices.

It’s been a long time coming but we now have official confirmation of the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, AMD’s first 9000-series 3D V-Cache CPU. We’ve been told all sorts, including core count, clock speed, TDP, and the fact that the processor will sit on its cache rather than donning it like a hat.
