MGA confirms system breach as researcher claims responsibility
The Malta Gaming Authority said on 17 March that one of its systems had been breached and that it had activated internal response protocols. Lilith Wittmann later claimed responsibility in a social media post; the MGA condemned the breach and said her allegations linking it to organised crime were unsubstantiated, while declining to detail what data had been accessed.
The breach and unresolved scope of accessed data raise security concerns for the regulator and gambling operators.
