DDOS attack won't even allow the index file and homepage load... The site still displays the html page created for maintenance related issues so a crash or DDOS attack is off the table

They could move the domain to a different server or format the same server and then restore the last back up files. I suspect this is what they are doing. They have terabytes of files and so restoring might take days to complete.

Mooh247:


Host like Whogohost only run a backup once every week.. if that's the case with the host of bet9ja then datas saved after the last backup update might be lost... Especially people's deposit record and long term stakes made over the week

A company as big as bet9ja will run and manage their own servers. I am sure they will back up at least once a day or even twice a day.

Mooh247:


Hopefully, if not it won't be funny

wirinet:

A who.is search of the bet9ja domain reveals 3 different servers, 2 in US and 1 in Amsterdam. I am sure one might even be a mirror that simultaneously back up the site

I have some substantial money in there, what is my fate?

Bet9ja was developed by the Italians and aided by one idiot called kunle soname..

They are ripping Nigerians..

Have you seen the lifestyle Italians are living
At the expense of our youths future

The Italians are ripping Nigerians just like the Chinese are ripping Nigerians with loan app..

If Federal government don't want to interfere then almighty God will interfere..

It's a taboo in Islamic and Christian Life to gamble...

Bornbiafra:
that's the major challenges bet9ja is passing through now.... recovering the funds ..

You won't recover it ....next time save your money with bank wey you know the address and office

It has been 24 hours now that the number 1 Nigeria betting company's website has been down

So many pundits and people who depend on them for business have been left aura of uncertainty and anxiety.


We hope they come back stronger because thousands depend on them as means of livelihood...either as staff, retail shop or even the food vendors around the corners.

NB
Hope the funds in accounts are safe oooo

Tombrown3:

let me not go much into how this works so as not to confuse you.

When a server side of website is hacked, some of its algorithm might be altered, eg: the algorithm that checks if a game plays over 1.5 or not. When this is altered, you can reprogram the outcome to suit your need!

Imagine hacking a bet site, then go to the virtual football and reprogram the outcomes of the virtual match to play over 4.5 from 1 to 10. Then you play it with 20k, how much will it give you? Now do this like 20times and see how much you've made. (that's how they got money from their bank account, because bet pays you when you win)

The withdrawal is very simple, since they now have the right to grant themselves "withdraw approval" which was another way the betting sites use to check for errors and know if you genuinely won the money you are about to withdraw.

Bros, na long story, but it can happen oo, I swear!

Do you know how many youth that has been saved from their bondage..

If only Govt will ban all them...

So many suicide is caused by them

So many recked home is caused by them

Let's all pray they don't come back again

wirinet:
As I suspected it was a ransomeware by Russian hackers. They are demanding for 340 million dollars to reopen bet9ja.

bigruki:
As suspected. stil have some funds in my account but in the meantime I have ported to Livescore bet. e be like na 250% welcome bonus. abeg any other operator offering more?

guobe:
The hack of bet9ja website is a monumental disaster for the bet9ja team.I heard they have lost about 11 billion naira in two days of non operation.most hackers do demand payment in bitcoin cryptocurrency as ransom.Left for me they should pay the ransom as they loose guarded.A big company getting such money should have the best tech brains protecting their system firewalls but an average Naija company is not ready to spend,they will use paddy paddy and put their brothers and sisters everywhere who knows little or nothing.Their cup of tea.
