Duelbits (24 Sep): co-founder confirms ~US$7M hack; site offline while deposit and withdrawal servers are rebuilt
Crypto casino Duelbits co-founder Joe (@DuelbitsJoe) wrote on X on 24 September 2026: "Confirming a ~$7M hack. Still investigating exactly what happened and how. Until we have clarity, Duelbits stays offline. User funds are safe." The next steps he listed were to finish the investigation, re-top hot wallets and bring Duelbits back online.
In a follow-up post he wrote: "We’ve identified what happened. An official statement will follow within 24 hours." He said the site should be back up within about 15 hours and that Duelbits was rebuilding its deposit and withdrawal servers.

Correction (27 Oct 2026): removed on-chain outflow figures credited to Scam Sniffer, Ethereum flow details, a researcher assessment of a private-key or signing compromise and a comparison with the Bitget incident, all of which came only from Cyber Security News, which does not serve its pages to Cyberstack; that link and credit are removed too.
