One of Nigeria's more popular online sports betting companies, SureBet247 (surebet247[.]com), has suffered a potential security and data breach which has put thousands of their customers and their systems at risk.

The data was found by an anonymous source who tipped off Australian security researcher and Founder of haveibeenpwned, Troy Hunt. Hunt subsequently got in touch with me after several days of failed attempts to reach SureBet247 and alert them that their customers and business could be at risk had failed.

"The data was sent to me by an anonymous party who wanted the incident to come to light. They’d tried to make contact with Surebet247 but stated it was without success. The data is extensive spanning over 32GB of backups across 6 databases of various online betting assets. [...]"

More betting operators affected?
Initially, we thought the database only related to Nigeria's SureBet247 and some of their related online assets, but upon closer inspection, it appeared that other online sports betting operators could be affected given the names of the databases that were shared with us.

So far, none of them, i.e. BetAlfa, BetWay, BongoBongo, and TopBet, have responded or communicated to request more information or engage regarding the potential security and data breach.

Initially, it was not obvious that BtoBet could be the source of the security and data breach that saw iAfrikan publish the article detailing how SureBet247 had suffered a data breach.
However, as time passed and we inspected the data dump further, some clues started emerging.
