This really worries me the most. Betnomi gave me quite the run-around trying to verify my account on multiple fronts. So they have essentially every type of personal identification of mine, banking information, etc. So if they were compromised then my personal identity and many others may also be.

We don't know what happened. I don't think it was hacked. It seems either betnomi sold their database or they have created another website. All are based on assumption. Nothing confirmed yet.

Well, this is serious... Who knows how many people left their documents on Betnomi?

Nothing is confirmed, and I don't see anyone complaining about money left there (I checked around)... My balance was $2. This is a very strange situation, I am not sure what to think anymore. Definitely, Betnomi is offline for too long and all this smells fishy, but again where are some big complaints, and scam accusations? With my $2 there and without KYC I dodge a bullet, and I played on Betnomi just because we had poker games there...

Good thing that I haven't played on this platform as far as I can remember. But if they have been hacked as speculated, then losing their money and then the customers data, then it's a double whammy for us.

Hopefully, they can come back and clear the space for us. I mean they have been slowly getting into the community and establishing themselves. So the sudden offline is really very sad to see and at the same time there are have speculations as to what really happen to them.

If that is true and they have indeed been hacked then not only is their precious money gone but the KYC details will now be in danger of being used for identity theft. Anyone who did KYC on their platform should probably alert the authorities that their government documents might be used by a third party without approval. That way, at least they can save themselves with a legitimate claim and plausible deniability, should someone take out a loan in their name or commit some kind of crime in a different country in their name...

This is exactly the reason why KYC is such a double edged sword.

Best thing to do is stay away for now and wait for further details. Maybe its not a hack, but something else.
