casinocontroller.com in my hosts file - still?

[Zephyrspect]

Did anything ever come out of this after this last post?? I'm left being rather curious right now and I'm also wanting to know what had been included in the original PM that had been sent out And this is only because I, for some reason, recently started seeing that there are some websites that are attempting to prefill with login info for this casinocontroller.com, yet when attempting to access the site specifically, it states that I'm "refused" access.

This is a continuation of this conversation from 2006 - an 18 year old thread.
casinocontroller.com in my hosts file? - Casinomeister Forum

welcome to the forum BTW

Right... I got that much, and thank you, by the way for accepting my account, as it's much appreciated, however, the post was originally supposed to be made as a new moment on this thread mentioned, which is why it's worded as such and hoped that anyone would have reasons behind why this login info showed up on my device because I didn't set an account with them. If I type in login for the site, it then asks for an authentication code, which obviously I wouldn't have? Sorry if any of this sounds rude. It's not meant to be, I promise. Just confusing is all. I don't really understand all of the tech talk as far as VPN, proxy, etc. goes that they were using in the thread, so you might have to dumb some stuff down for me to understand it, and I mean REALLY dumb it down.

Thank you!

 

[The Dude]

No worries. The thread you posted to earlier is pretty ancient, and many of the members in that thread are no longer here with us for one reason or another.

So maybe you need to dumb it down for me.

So, what exactly is the problem?

 

[Zephyrspect]

Ohhhh. Ok, that makes a lot more sense then.

I wouldn't necessarily say that it's caused a problem at all, however I'm just trying to figure out how, why and when it has been added into my list of saved passwords when I've not created an account.

So a few days ago, I was going to to play some games online and when I went to start putting in my login info for the account, the auto fill option from Google popped up asking if I wanted to autofill with sections with credentials that had apparently been saved for a totally different website, being casinocontroller.com, however I've not been to the website before. I felt a little weird about it, so I proceeded to a different site, only to find that it was doing the same thing, and then again with another one. At that point, I decided to see what this website was that the login info was for, and when attempting to access through the IP given, it stayed trying to load the page for the longest time before it said that the page was unavailable, and when using the actual web address, it began switching to a screen that now only says "Forbidden - You don't have permission to access this resource," and since it's apparently login info that's been saved to my phone, I tried the /login variation as well, which proved to have better results and sent me to a login screen and takes whatever has been saved, although it then asks for an authentication code that I would have been provided, even though I never was. I searched emails and text messages and nothing has come up for anything regarding this site aside from what I've found when googling what it is and coming across this forum.

Hopefully, I explained that well enough for you, as I don't always have the best means and effectiveness of delivery and understanding when providing explanations to people.

From a bit of research, casinocontroller.com is related to Rival casino software. I would look/scan PC and get rid of it.

 

[Zephyrspect]

I appreciate the helpful information, sir, and from anybody else that would offer any kind of insight on the matter. I'll start with scanning as you mentioned, although, this wouldn't be for a PC, as it's on my phone (android), which is why I'm as confused as I am about how it got there, you know? Again, thank you!!

I am also seeing the same thing in my phone, I also cannot figure out where it came from, how it got here, or how to get into it without an authentication code which I do not have or received. No emails not text or anything else. Have you found anything out yet?

 

[gvilleneil]

I’m here with the same issue. I’ve never visited the site and after reading through the prior comments and this subject. I hope someone could pm me with what’s going on here. I have an idea what may be happening here but unfortunately this isn’t the only issue I’m having. If someone could help me with why this is happening. It would be a life saver.

 

[conker]

@gvilleneil like Guntis told the OP, you need to hunt that software down and get rid of it.

A good place to start is Control Panel>Programs and Features>Uninstall a Program> Look down the list and get rid of anything that shouldn't be there, like casinocontroller

You may also have Malware, so maybe download Malwarebytes (free version) and run a full scan on your laptop.

Beyond that, you probably want to go to a specialist, as people here can only help you so much with such vague details. Best of luck.

It’s not on my computer it’s on my cell phone. I thought this was a forum that discouraged fraud? I read comments from others about better get a proxy server. Others about not letting the cat out of the bag and approving comments from the higher ups. I’m just trying to protect myself.

I found that something saved in my google passwords on my phone "Casinocontroller.com" with my username and password saved to it. I went to the site, plugged those in and the next window had a box for an authentication key and "Login" button under that. Tried again later and it said I was forbidden to access the site due to permissions.

Whatever it is, I feel like they can mirror and manipulate the game play. I've never, NEVER had 46 plinko balls go negative in a row.... I'll say that again... IN. A. ROW.... and the only winning multipliers are 8 or less. It's been happening daily on Bitstarz for about a week now and I fully believe they're responsible.

Something shady is going on. Did you go back and read the comments. The ones from years ago talking about not wanting to let the cat out of the bag. I’m dealing with the same type losing streaks. This forum was my the best shot to find out what’s going on but the advice giving here doesn’t help me. This is on my cell phone not my pc. Hopefully someone with some balls with speak up.

the hosts file is for resolving dns really.

Blocking and redirecting traffic. I've only really used it in the past to stop certain softwares from phoning home that have been found on the high seas. When programs are installed they can and will modify the hosts file.

The only way it would be an attack vector is redirecting you to malicious/unwanted content.

As for the saved mobile logins, it's previously been mentioned as related to rival casino software and the casinos it are popping up on must have URI relations to the saved login.

The casinocontroller.com site itself isn't intended to be visited so thats why you are forbidden.

Most likely explanation is anyone who's encountered this has used a related software or website. Just because you haven't used "casinocontroller" specifically doesn't mean something can be saved for that.

The casino representative in the original thread used direct messages to be quick as whatever he messaged about would have required approval from the staff at casinomeister to post due to one of the rules. I've personally broken rules by mistake and would have avoided doing so by privately messaging instead.

I realize this is an older thread. But im just now investigating on this issue and seeking any info on it from anyone would share

got 30 accounts user names and pass words stored by google in my google password manager under casino controller.. I have no clue where Google picked this up from and I never ever registered account with any such place and all of the usernames and passwords none of them have a site recorded to them. It's just 30 usernames and passwords under . casino controller. When I Google it there's is barely anything to be found.a plain white log in page.thats it..I know some of the user names were not created by me.and this is shady as hell.
