As I was about to delete it, I realized that throughout my years of gambling, I've noticed that online casinos are much more secure compared to lotteries, you almost never receive scam emails like this one from an online casino. That's been my personal experience. Has anyone had a different experience, particularly with online crypto casinos?
I feel like that is because a casino isn’t just focused on just the single lotteries that they run but they run so many other things and there are so many ways for threat actors to get in so they almost have to be more secure. Getting scam emails tho has nothing to do with the actual lottery or casino they are most likely coming from a threat actor group running a phishing email campaign.
