Earlier we reported the Bet9Ja website shutdown now a new report suggests that the website has been restored, the mobile phone has been retrieved from Russian hackers, and the CEO has delivered a statement to bettors.

The good news is that the Bet9ja website, which the Russian Blackcat hacking gang had hijacked, has been restored. Ayo Ojuroye, CEO of Bet9ja, said this in an official statement by Ayo Ojuroye, the CEO and Co-Founder of Bet9ja. “I want to tell you that your data is safe, and your cash is intact,” said Ayo Ojuroye, CEO of Bet9ja. Even with these attacks, the security of your data is not jeopardized.


Is the Bet9ja website back up and running?


Yes, the Bet9ja website is back online. Our fact-check reporter at Techpression confirmed that the Bet9ja website is back up and running. Message from Bet9ja’s CEO, headlined “WE HAVE CONTROL, OF ALL ACCOUNTS, DATA, AND FUNDS ARE SECURE”: The last few days have been difficult for us. We were subjected to an unprovoked and unjustifiable sophisticated criminal cyber-attack on our platform on Wednesday, April 6, 2022.

Many of our clients and stakeholders have been inconvenienced by the inability to access their accounts or place bets on the bet9ja.com platform. I’d want to apologize on behalf of the management and every team member for this and emphasize how much we regret the situation.

This is our way of saying thank you for your steadfast devotion, patience, and understanding during this trying time.

Thank you for your patience, understanding, and loyalty at this challenging time. Please know that we are entirely in charge of the issue and that all accounts, data, and cash are safe and secure. Our best days are yet ahead of us. Thank you very much. Bet9ja CEO/Co-Founder AYO OJUROYE Bet9ja, The website, is currently operational, and bettors may access now using this link. Previous: Bet9ja Breaking NewsThe term “Bet9ja website hacked” is now trending in the betting world. According to a statement made by the renowned betting firm on Thursday, April 7, 2022, the Russian Blackcat Group hacked Nigerian betting company Bet9ja.

 

What We Know About The Hacker’s Demand From Bet9ja 

The hackers are purportedly seeking a ransom, according to a statement made by Bet9ja on Thursday, April 7, 2022, but they have never accepted their terms. Even though the Bet9ja website has been hacked, the company declared that their IT staff is working around the clock to restore the regular Bet9ja website and that clients’ funds are safe.

 

The Russian Blackcat Group has requested that the Bet9ja company pay an unspecified amount of money. According to an official statement, the Russian Blackcat Group hacked the Bet9ja website. “It is crucial to keep you all updated on the true condition of things since it has been very tough in the previous 24 hours,” the statement says. We’ve seen messages in various groups claiming that we’re performing maintenance, which is not valid.


We will not do so on a significant UCL day. The entire Bet9ja system has been attacked by the Russian Blackcat organization, known for multiple attacks on major corporations worldwide. This Russian gang has launched a massive hacker attack, but our workers have been working nonstop since yesterday to restore all services, which is not simple. “

 

The company advised their valued clients to keep calm because everything was under control. Please do not be discouraged. We will undoubtedly restore things as soon as possible and offer an update on the progress. They are already demanding a ransom, but we will never accept their terms. I must inform you of this to be on the same page. They have struck us severely, but they can not kill us. “We will hold our ground and return stronger,” the message said.
