What happened
In December 2019, a large collection of data from Nigerian gambling company Surebet247 was sent to HIBP. Alongside the Surebet247, database backups from gambling sites BetAlfa, BetWay, BongoBongo and TopBet was also included. Further investigation implicated betting platform provider BtoBet as being the common source of the data. Impacted data included user records and extensive information on gambling histories.
What data leaked
- Dates of birth
- Email addresses
- Financial transactions
- Geographic locations
- IP addresses
- Names
- Usernames
What to do if you had an account
- Turn on two-step sign-in. Enable two-factor authentication where the service offers it, preferably with an authenticator app or a passkey. A leaked password alone is then not enough to get in.
- Expect targeted phishing. Leaked contact details are used to write convincing fake messages that mention the breached company or your real name. Do not click links in unexpected emails or texts about this account; go to the site by typing its address.
- Check your bank statements. Review recent card and account transactions and report anything you do not recognise. If full card numbers were exposed, ask your bank to replace the card.
- Guard against identity fraud. Identity documents and dates of birth cannot be changed like a password. Consider a credit freeze or fraud alert where your country offers one, and be wary of anyone who 'verifies' you using those details.
