The cyber fraud threat to online sportsbooks
Recently I have been learning tons about network security and exploitation. I want to start a discussion on what others within the sports betting industry thought about the current state of security pertaining to sportsbooks. At least one thing I've noticed about the security of some top sport books is that none I've checked use SSL thus making the information more susceptible to interception, at least at a local level.
A few things I wonder...
Are books using the same measures to secure themselves as the banking industry?
If so, are they a constant target for hackers like the banking systems?
Are passwords passing on the network in plain text? (guess I have a project for later)
In your opinion which book has the best security? Why?
Have you heard any stories of books getting breached/hacked?
