Daily Asia Gaming eBrief: Malta Gaming Authority hack raises significant concerns

‘Organized crime enablement’. That’s the hefty claim leveled by a German hacker who claims to have breached Malta Gaming Authority’s systems and is threatening to release data she says is damning. The MGA’s response so far has been limited, and the scope of the hack and authorities’ response is unclear, but the penetration of one of the world’s top iGaming licensors is raising concerns regardless. Meanwhile, in Singapore, Marina Bay Sands’ multi-billion-dollar expansion is going ahead under contractor Woh Hup, significantly increasing the operator’s footprint by 2030. And in Macau, tourism boomed in February, as the Chinese New Year holidays boosted visitation to 4.2 million, up by nearly one-third yearly.
