Ocean's 11 wannabes hack casino surveillance cameras to swipe $32M

Entertainment // Hospitality // Australia

Thieves overtake Crown casino's surveillance system to pull off $32 million heist. "A foreign high roller who was staying at Crown [note: with his family] has been implicated in the rip-off, in which the venue's security cameras were used to spy for him. A staff member has also been entangled in the colossal Ocean's 11-style rort."


An unauthorized person was provided with remote access to the venue's security system. "Images relayed from cameras were then used to spy on a top-level gaming area where the high roller was playing. Signals were given to him on how he should bet based on the advice of someone viewing the camera feeds."

The state-of-the-art, high-resolution technology cameras are capable of transmitting the most intricate detail of goings-on.
