Bulgaria – Cybercrime unit arrest four slot cheats in Bulgaria
By Phil - 26 March 2018
A gang of four men has been detained by the Bulgarian General Directorate Combating Organised Crime (GDCOC) cybercrime unit for hacking land-based slot machines at casinos across the country.
They are believed to have defrauded a host of land-based casinos using a ‘sophisticated scheme.’
Each of the four was given a particular role in the sting with one of them playing on the slot machines while the others accessed the machines remotely to manipulate the games’ outcome. The four were arrested immediately after carrying out their sting at a casino.
The GDCOC confiscated a ‘large amount of money’ as well as the devices. The four individuals will be ‘forwarded to judicial institutions’ to be tried under Bulgarian laws.
