BtoBet Investigates Customer Data Breach
Reading Time: < 1 minute
Sports betting platform provider BtoBet has possibly suffered a security breach which resulted in the databases and code of its betting operator customers in Africa and South America being accessed by a non-authorised person or people. This has been partly confirmed by BtoBet who, through their legal representative, Aleksandar Mihajloski.
Mihajloski told that the security breach is “subject to an ongoing criminal investigation.”
Initially, it was not obvious that BtoBet could be the source of the security and data breach that saw iAfrikan publishes the article detailing how SureBet247 had suffered a data breach.
However, as time passed, some clues started emerging. The first clue was how some of the betting websites whose names appeared in the data looked the same. Further inspection and looking at the source code of each of the betting operators whose customer databases were part of the data dump revealed the first clue that BtoBet could be the company whose systems who breached and customer databases and code accessed.
Another peculiar part of the data dump is a 307KB database backup file named “BetWay.bak,” although the file only contains 78 unique e-mail addresses, it is not clear why it was on BtoBet servers.
Before long, another clue that seemed to prove the working hypothesis that it was BtoBet’s systems that were breached. Troy Hunt, a security researcher and founder of haveibeenpwned, discovered that each of the betting operators’ databases which were part of the data dump had a lot of @btobet.com admin e-mail addresses (same e-mail address) at the beginning of each “Users” table.
