Curaçao Gambling Regulator Plans In-House Portal After Breach

Curaçao’s efforts to bring online gambling regulation under greater internal control have gained urgency following a breach of the licensing system that exposed confidential information belonging to licence holders. The Curaçao Gaming Authority (CGA) has abandoned its previous portal and is preparing a temporary replacement while planning a system it can manage itself. The incident has prompted complaints to authorities in three countries and an independent forensic investigation. The regulator said it is working with specialist firms to remove leaked material from the internet and is considering civil legal action. The CGA discovered the unauthorized access on 17 September.
